- Understand the complex relationship between mobility and territory
- Know the limits and impacts associated with the current mobility model
- Understand and be able to predict the positive and negative externalities of future developments in terms of mobility and transport
- Know the main methodologies of study of mobility
- Know the necessary instruments and their methodologies for the management of mobility

Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Theoretical classes | 10 | 0.4 | |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Class exhibitions | 10 | 0.4 | |
| Preparation of a job | 36 | 1.44 | |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Readings of articles or books of the subject | 26 | 1.04 |
The subject will be structured based on directed and autonomous activities, where students will learn interactively with the contents of the program, with the help and support of the teacher.
The subject includes classes led by the teacher, exhibitions and discussions of students, with the collaboration of external experts from different fields.
All the activities in class will have a bibliographic support that the students will have at the beginning of the course. Activities that cannot be done in person will be adapted to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools. The exercises, projects and theoretical classes will be carried out through virtual tools, such as tutorials, videos, team sessions, etc. The teacher will ensure that the student can access it or offer alternative means, which are available to them.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
