Reconnecting cities with surrounding rural areas? Boosting green spaces for healthier environments and improved lifestyle? Looking for alternatives to the use of private cars that are competitive in terms of convenience and flexibility as well as cost? Planning and designing living environments for active mobility? If these are issues that keep you awake at night – and you would like to become part of the solution – then the Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions (SUMT) master’s program at the TU/e may well be what you’re looking for!


Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, together with heating, is the main cause of air pollution in cities. Road transport is by far the biggest emitter within the transport sector*. Advances in technology and emergence of the notion of a shared economy have now augmented the set of available transport mode options [shared bike, shared ride, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and electric vehicles, amongst others].


These innovations in technology and business models, however, will not guarantee sustainable future city and/or transport scenarios unless administrated as such. It is beyond doubt that if the ambition for the future is to safeguard inclusive, sustainable access opportunities and resources, efficient multi-modal transport must be developed at the lowest financial and environmental cost – and with the highest resilience to disruptive events. Planning and design of the urban and rural areas must support these mobility systems. Getting that all right is a tough call.
