Explore the potential of urban green infrastructure
Welcome! As cities grow, the needs of those who live or visit them also change and the way our infrastructure is designed and organized affects the way we live, wouldn’t you agree?
Curbside space is usually used for parking or bus stops, but with society and mobility evolving, it is increasingly used for other purposes such as public space, terraces, delivery areas, charging stations or cycling and shared mobility infrastructure. This can lead to a competitive situation between uses and users and where public space is not optimized for its best use. This short introductory course will give you a practical understanding of how flexible curbside management can help cities to manage their curb more effectively.
- Discuss curbside management with respect to diverse users, and explain the benefits of flexible curbsides
- Outline how technology can help understand the ways people are using curbsides, and how digitisation can enable a more dynamic use of the curb
- Describe the strategy to design a (flexible) curbside according to users needs, looking at tactical urbanism and illustrating it with examples of best practice
- Explain the role of authorities, decision-makers, citizens, and business stakeholders in the design proces.

It helps me to know about curbside and its management. It sounds unfamiliar my country, only big cities have it. With this knowledge may help me to improve the curbside's usage and its management in my own country. Thank you so much.

Interesting course on new ways of exploring and managing the curbside. Eye opening to understand how curb management can also be flexible and based on innovative approches using digital technology and problem-solving ideas. The examples given are all from the Netherlands, it would be nice to see other examples from non-Dutch cities.

The course was super helpful in learning about curbside management and all the possibilities in improving them. As some one interested in urban planning, I love to learn more about all things mobility - It is great to see what multimodal options there are out there. The course was really accessible and gave me a ton of new perspectives to think about 🙂
After going through the course you are ready to dive deep into this space. EIT has also provided many resources to going further.Thanks!
