On a European scale, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), public authorities and regulators are promoting healthy and efficient mobility systems daily. Environmental, social, and economic factors can reshape the landscape of future mobility—an ecosystem historically subject to stringent regulations. Presently, the majority of European cities are already implementing LEZ.
Therefore, the training of professionals who will be responsible for implementing these zones is essential, as it is necessary to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge to successfully implement a LEZ. Their preparation will determine the ability to overcome challenges that may arise from the implementation of a LEZ, such as the lack of a clear definition of these zones, issues related to digitization, innovation, governance, as well as implementation issues, among others.
This underscores the imperative need for the training of professionals tasked with executing this deployment, ensuring they possess the requisite knowledge for the successful implementation of a LEZ. Their preparedness will determine their ability to surmount challenges arising from the implementation of a LEZ, such as the lack of a clear definition of these zones, issues related to digitization, innovation, governance, as well as application-related concerns, among others.
The faculty for this program comprises technicians and professionals from the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona and its constituent municipalities, professors from the UPC, and external experts. It also benefits from the guidance and participation of companies providing services related to the operationalization of a LEZ.
