Course overview This is an introductory course that examines the complex relationship between transportation, land use and urban form, and the varied instruments available to planners seeking to influence this relationship. The course is roughly divided into three parts: First, we take a historical look at how technological innovations, socio- demographic shifts and political decision-making shaped the way people and goods move around cities today. We explore the contemporary “urban transportation problem,” that extends beyond satisfying mobility needs into addressing the impact of transportation choices on equity, congestion, air pollution, safety, urban sprawl, etc. Second, the course looks at how transportation planners craft projects and policies that are both technically sound and politically feasible, introducing (and critiquing) some of the tools and skills used by professionals in this field. Third, this course provides an overview of alternatives available to transportation planners, as they attempt to (a) reduce the public’s need for long and unnecessary motorized travel and (b) shift the movement of people to more socially efficient modes such as walking, biking, and public transit. In this section, we survey transportation innovations increasingly implemented in cities around the world, such as congestion charging, bus rapid transit and bike-sharing. Through lectures, discussions, case studies and written assignments, this course aims to introduce students to the field of transportation planning, and to develop their ability to critically analyze transportation plans and policies.

The course is roughly divided into three parts: First, we take a historical look at how technological innovations, socio-demographic shifts and political decision-making shaped the way people and goods move around cities today. We explore the contemporary “urban transportation problem,” that extends beyond satisfying mobility needs into addressing the impact of transportation choices on equity, congestion, air pollution, safety, urban sprawl, etc. Second, the course looks at how transportation planners craft projects and policies that are both technically sound and politically feasible, introducing (and critiquing) some of the tools and skills used by professionals in this field. Third, this course provides an overview of alternatives available to transportation planners, as they attempt to (a) reduce the public’s need for long and unnecessary motorized travel and (b) shift the movement of people to more socially efficient modes such as walking, biking, and public transit. In this section, we survey transportation innovations increasingly implemented in cities around the world, such as congestion charging, bus rapid transit and bike-sharing.

concentrate on painting a rough picture of the stereotypical auto-oriented metropolitan area in the United States, which we then use as an analytical benchmark to survey transportation plans and policies implemented in several regions of the world, assessing their varied impact. Through the course, we weave together theory, policy analysis and practical skills. The required readings are a mix of case studies and analytic materials chosen to help us through this process. I will also incorporate material from our ongoing research at The Project for Transforming Urban Transport (currently focused on Mexico City, Seoul and Stockholm), news-clips of contemporary transportation debates, and pose questions to spark conversation. !!Course calendar!!Date! !

Your level of engagement with the class will affect your grade, but more importantly will greatly enhance the quality of our collective experience. The use of laptop computers during class is permitted to take notes, but I reserve the right to ban their use if they become too distracting. !!The final grade for the course will be based on the following:!!

• Attendance/Engagement: 10%!• Assignment 1 (due Sep 8): 5% (graded pass/fail)!• Assignment 2 (due on the day of the selected session): 30%!• Assignment 3 (due date varies, but must be completed before the last class): 25%!• Final Assignment: 30%!

• Proposal (due Oct 1) !• First draft and in class presentation (Dec 3) !• Final draft (due Dec 17 @10:00 am)!!

Assignments!!Assignment #1 - Introductions: This first assignment consists in a one-page note in which you will describe the urban transportation environment of the city you inhabited before moving to Cambridge, and introduce yourself. More precise instructions will be available in the course website.!!Assignment #2 – Summary and discussion of class readings: At the beginning of the semester, students will choose a specific class session to complete this assignment. By 10 pm on the night previous to your selected session, you will distribute to the group a brief (2-3 page) with key points drawn from the required and recommended readings. You should come to class prepared to lead a 10-15 minute discussion of the assigned material. !!Assignment #3 - Meeting Report: Each student will attend a meeting where a transportation concern is being discussed. This can be a meeting of a government agency or an NGO. I’ve complied the list below to get you started, but feel free to suggest alternatives:!!MBTA Public Meetings!Regional Transportation Advisory Council!Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization!Cambridge Bicycle Committee!Cambrige Pedestrian Committee!Cambridge Transit Advisory Committee!Boston Complete Streets Initiative!Boston Bikes!Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee!MBTA Rider Oversight Committee!Friends of the Community Path!Livable Streets Alliance!Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition!!Please keep in mind that many meetings are held only monthly or quarterly and thus it is necessary to research and plan ahead. You may want to call the organizers to make sure that the meeting is open to the public, and to confirm that the topics on the agenda are interesting and worth your time. Meetings may be held during business hours or in the evenings and you may need to make special arrangements to attend. Some

meetings (perhaps the best meetings) are project specific, and do not have a fixed monthly schedule. Here is a list of links to a few of the most relevant projects in the region that you may want to consider (again, remember I would be open to alternative proposals!)!!Green line extension project!Grounding McGrath Study!South Coast Rail Project!Silver Line Gateway Project!Sommerville Community Path!Arlington Mass Avenue Rebuild!Charles River Bridges Project!Proposed Bike Trails all over Boston-Metro!!You will write a memo describing and summarizing the meeting. The memo will be written in a style that is suitable as a briefing document for department heads and other staff members not at the meeting. The memo should provide a brief synopsis of the topic(s) being discussed, noting who was at the meeting and how was the meeting structured. Please summarize what was said (the key points raised, areas of agreement or disagreement, data sources, documents referenced or distributed, etc.) and outline the next steps the group will be pursuing. Finalize with a short conclusion suggesting what, if anything, organizers ought to have done differently to better advance their aims.!This memo should not exceed four single spaced pages. Please include as an annex electronic copies of additional material (not more than 60 additional pages) that would help the reader pursue the topic further, if interested. These documents may be recent reports/studies/etc. about the project under discussion, or any other useful background reading.!!This assignment will be due one week after the attended meeting. Please also note that this assignment must be completed in full prior to the last class session.!!Final Assignment - Research paper + presentation: For the final assignment, students will work in teams (2-3 members). In consultation with the instructor, each group will select a critical transportation issue, and develop a case study or research paper about it. Choose a topic that is manageable. It is better to produce a well researched paper on a narrow topic, than a shallow review of a broadly defined concern.The topic must be directly related to the material discussed in the course, but you are expected to conduct your own independent research. Finally, remember that I am not only looking for normative positions about your chosen topic, but also for a nuanced consideration of potential implementation challenges. !!To get you a sense of what kind of topics may be acceptable, here is a small list:!!

• Financing bike share in the USA: Lessons from NYC’s CitiBike!• From coverage to frequency: Re-designing the bus network in Houston, Tx.!• The diffusion of innovation in transportation: How did Bus Rapid Transit go viral?!

Page 5: HKS SUP-652, GSD SES-5304 Transportation Planning and ... · PDF fileHKS SUP-652, GSD SES-5304! Transportation Planning and Development! Fall 2014!! ... This assignment will be due

• If not the gas tax, what else? An assessment of the road user charge experiment in Oregon.!

• A revolution of the taxi industry: Regulatory challenges in an era of Uber.!• Informal jitneys in the developing world: How to preserve their “good” features

while ditching the “bad”?!• What can the Seoul highway removal experience teach the cities of North

America? !!This assignment will be completed in three stages. !!Students will first submit a two page proposal, including (a) a brief description of the policy issue as you currently understand it, (b) identification and summary of recent work on the same topic (at least 3-5 sources such as journal articles, reports, etc), and (c) proposed research methodology (data analysis, key informant interviews, etc). The team will schedule a meeting with the instructor to present and seek approval for their proposal. This two-pager should be emailed to the instructor on the day previous to this meeting. Please consider that your proposal meeting should take place no later than October 1.!!Proposal DUE: October 1 at the latest. (If the instructor request a revision to your proposal, this due date will be extended to October 6.)!!After the proposal is accepted, students will prepare a full “journal-like” paper on the topic. The length of the paper should be between 7,000 and 10,000 words. You are welcome to seek input from the instructor at anytime during the semester. Make sure to begin your work early, as work from other classes tends to accumulate toward the end of the semester. A “first draft” of the paper will be due on December 3 (last day of classes). This draft must at the very least contain a detailed outline, including a description of the work conducted, and your preliminary conclusions. !!Cite in the text by author and date (e.g., Smith, 2010). Prepare reference list in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. !!Examples:!!

• Journal: Smith J M. 1998. The origin of altruism. Nature 393:639–40.!• Book: Keeney RW. 1980. Sitting energy facilities. New York: Academic Press.!• Contribution to a Book: Hartley JT, Walsh DA. 1980. Contemporary issues in adult

development of learning. In: Poon LW (ed.), Ageing in the 1980s. Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association, pp. 27–52.!!

Paper draft DUE: December 3.!!Finally, you will present your preliminary findings during an in-class oral presentation, that will take place during the last class session (or during an alternative date TBD, depending on the number of teams). Each group will prepare a poster, and a one page

Page 6: HKS SUP-652, GSD SES-5304 Transportation Planning and ... · PDF fileHKS SUP-652, GSD SES-5304! Transportation Planning and Development! Fall 2014!! ... This assignment will be due

handout summarizing your paper for the class. The presentation and poster should be prepared in a concise, clear language, that a lay citizen would easily understand. Both your classmates and guest reviewers will be invited to volunteer comments. This feedback should be taken into account for revisions before submitting your final draft. !!In class presentation: December, 3 (Depending on the number of teams, we may have to make special arrangements for extended class time or an alternative date.) !!FINAL Paper submission: December, 17 by 10 am. !!Out of fairness to all, late assignments will not be accepted except under unusual circumstances. (Having an exam or another assignment due that day is not an unusual circumstance.) Please upload all your assignments to the course website by the start of class on their due date. In addition, submit one hard copy of the final assignment at the instructor’s office.!!Miscellaneous!If you feel that you may need accommodations for any sort of physical or learning disability, please speak to me after class, make an appointment to see me, or see me during my office hours.!!Plagiarism and cheating are not tolerated. Never (1) turn in an assignment that you did not write yourself, or (2) turn in an assignment for this class that you previously turned in for another class. If you do so, it may result in a failing grade for the class, and possibly even suspension from Harvard. Please see me if you have any questions about what constitutes plagiarism.!!Readings!There are two required textbooks: The Geography of Urban Transportation, 3rd edition, edited by Susan Hanson and Genevieve Giuliano (2004, The Guilford Press) and Still Stuck in Traffic, by Anthony Downs (2004, Brookings). They will be available for purchase at the Coop, and in Amazon. If you are interested in public transit, I highly recommend that you purchase Human transit: How clearer thinking about public transit can enrich our communities and our lives, by Jarrett Walker (2012, Island Press).!There is no course pack. Required readings not included in the two required textbooks will be made available as PDFs or web links on the course site. The exception to this rule are a couple of HKS case studies, which will need to be purchased online. !!The lectures will not cover all of the material in the readings, so it is essential that you keep up with the required material. The list below includes readings marked as either required or recommended. Readings are listed for the class for which they should be read, although the “recommended” readings apply for the entire topic. Some readings are also marked with an *. This means that this reading includes a debate or a case that I intend to highlight in class. The list of readings in this syllabus is largely complete, but
