- Transport, infrastructure and logistics is by nature a multi- and interdisciplinary field. Unfortunately, it is fragmented into many specialized sub-disciplines, each with their own vocabulary, paradigms and theories.
- For example, logistical engineers may view an urban transport network as just "another" link in a complex network of supply chains, whereas urban planners may consider transport networks as instrumental in their planning of modern cities and landscapes.
- Civil engineers on the other hand consider transport networks as the central (vascular) network which enable complex economic, social and spatial activities and processes. Of course, they all have a point.
- But wouldn’t it be great if urban planners, policy makers and traffic and transport engineers had a common understanding of all these differences and vocabularies? The TU Delft MSc Master’s Programme in Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics (TIL) offers exactly this!
