Teaching Land Use–Transport Interactions in Italy: Towards an Interdisciplinary Pedagogy?

Integrating land use and transport planning is seen as a key approach to pursue more sustainable mobility patterns, but it requires an interdisciplinary pedagogy for those who will be working in these fields: architects, spatial planners and engineers. This paper systematically examines – using syllabi analysis and teacher questionnaires – around 200 academic degree programmes offered by Italian universities, to verify how and to what extent this topic is taught to future professionals. The findings show that the land use–transport issue is still given little consideration in degree programmes, but interesting pedagogical experience based on different course formats can be found
