CEN 4043 - Transportation Systems for Sustainable and Healthy Communities

Credits: 4
Formerly: CEN5043
Sustainable communities, walkable neighborhoods, complete streets, green streets, safe routes, mulit-modal neighborhoods, smart growth, LEED neighborhood,  There is a plethora of overlapping terms, metrics, and performance measures for improving the usability of our local transportation systems. In the course we will explore the history and use of various metrics, and pull apart the benefits and reasons behind the most common. Through the use of primary literature, research, and guest lecturers we will explore the controversies and the reasons behind the stew of terms, and gain an interdisciplinary understanding of how fields can work together to improve the built environment to better support the natural and human environment.
