Abstract
To understand the complex meanings of mobility and to engage in transport planning and management processes a variety of disciplines, skills, and tools are potentially useful. Universities have a limited amount of time and resources to train future professionals though. This poses a problem: where the teaching priorities should be? By means of a web-survey this study has asked to academics based at a number of universities what are the disciplines, skills, and tools that – according to their personal viewpoints – are the most relevant for practitioners in the mobility and transport sector. The respondents generally support curricula that facilitate a holistic, non-specialised, understanding of mobility and transport issues.
