It is exciting to learn about the holistic planning process of SUMPs as opposed to traditional methods. I am particularly fascinated by planning for people's needs, such as quality of life, as opposed to planning for transportation needs. In my Country, Kenya, previous planning methods were not based on quality of life.

Lo que nos ha mostrado el curso es una realidad a lo que esta viviendo cada ciudad, sino tomamos las pautas para un cambio , estamos condenados a pagar un alto precio, Si se sigue haciendo lo mismo de siempre, tendremos a corto plazo consecuencias. El cambio climático tiene un precio real y, si no se cambia la movilidad en la ciudad, la temperatura aumentará, tanto a nivel local como global.
Concise and with good examples.
