Green Infrastructure and Sustainability in Transport Planning Training Course

Course Overview
The growing need for environmentally friendly, climate-resilient, and sustainable transport systems has brought green infrastructure to the forefront of modern transport planning. Green infrastructure integrates natural systems, renewable technologies, and sustainable practices into transportation networks to reduce environmental impact, enhance urban resilience, and promote sustainable mobility.
This course provides participants with practical knowledge and skills to design, implement, and manage sustainable transport solutions. It covers eco-friendly transport planning, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, low-carbon mobility solutions, and the use of green technologies in infrastructure development.
Through case studies, hands-on planning exercises, and interactive workshops, participants will gain the expertise to develop green corridors, sustainable public transport systems, and environmentally responsible policies that support inclusive and climate-smart transport planning.
