The world’s cities are changing, but not enough. New technology, business models, and global priorities are transforming the way we get around, and regional planners and urban engineers are under pressure to prepare for and exploit these transformations to help bring about an urban environment that consumes fewer scarce resources, contributes less to climate change, and provides more livable neighborhoods and workplaces. To accomplish this requires competence beyond the traditional urban planning and civil engineering disciplines, along with entrepreneurial skills to drive change that puts innovations into practice.

Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions (SUMT) focuses on the holistic approach in study, design, development and evaluation of sustainable, inclusive, resilience urban environment. After completing the programme, the graduate will be equipped with the ability to i.a.:

• Participate in strategic work to meet transport-related problems.
• Create and analyse technological solutions to urban mobility challenges. 
• Translate innovations into feasible business solutions.
• Identify and assess short- and long-term future consequences of plans and decisions

• Major studies 60 ECTS
• Innovation and Entrepreneurship studies 30 ECTS
• Master's thesis 30 ECTS

^{*) The course is mandatory for those who have not completed a similar course in their bachelor degree in Finland or who have not completed / will not complete a similar course at the partner university (e.g. AK2038 Theory and Methodology of Science with Applications at KTH). LC-1310 Academic Communication for MSc Students (o,w) is recommended to avoid recognition problems at partner universities. Possibilities to take other language courses fulfilling the compulsory foreign language course requirements at Aalto University must be discussed and pre-agreed with the study coordinator. If you are not required to take the course or any other language course at Aalto, select more elective courses on the list.}
