Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Designing Climate-Neutral buildings and transport Course materials Lectures 4.2.1 Decarbonizing urban transport

4.2.1 Decarbonizing urban transport

Course subject(s) 4. Transport decarbonization II

In this short video, Dr. Natalia Barbour introduces the challenges that are present in achieving sustainable transportation, namely in substituting car travel for other modes of transport, as well as making sure that remaining personal vehicle trips are powered by renewable energy. The topic will be discussed in more depth during a guest interview in the next section.

Key takeaways:

  1. It is a great challenge to convince the general population to consider to switch from personal cars to other modes of transport in urban areas.
  2. When traveling long distances, there are not many alternatives.
  3. There has been a large amount of research to explore how socio-demographic factors influence travel behavior and mode choice.
