This document outlines the proposed syllabus for the course "Urban Transport Planning" with the following key points: 1. The proposed syllabus reduces the number of modules from 7 to 6 and renames some of the modules for clarity. 2. It consolidates some topics from the original syllabus, such as combining "Transport Planning Surveys and Studies" with "Transport Planning Process". 3. The core topics covered remain similar, including urbanization and transport, land use and transport, transport demand modeling, transport policies, and mobility and accessibility considerations. 4. Some module descriptions are shortened for conciseness in the proposed syllabus.
