Abstract

This article examines the pivotal function of higher education in tackling the intricate issues of urban mobility. By analyzing the interaction between urban expansion, transportation, and sustainable growth, it advocates for a fundamental shift in transportation education. The incorporation of intelligent transportation systems, cross-disciplinary cooperation, and a focus on innovation are identified as essential elements of this transformation. The study underscores the significance of stakeholder involvement and the necessity for curriculum reform to equip future professionals with the competencies required to create sustainable and resilient urban environments. By adopting an all-encompassing approach that includes economic, social, and environmental aspects, universities can substantially contribute to the development of sustainable transportation systems and enhance the quality of life for urban dwellers.
