Urban Mobility in the 21st Century

Rapid population growth in cities world-wide will lead to a shift in transportation from car ownership to a networked fleet of smaller, more efficient, sustainable shared vehicles, predicts Urban Mobility in the 21st Century, a report for the NYU BMW i Project on Cities and Sustainability prepared by Mitchell L. Moss, Director of the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy & Management at NYU Wagner and Hugh O’Neill, President and Founder of Appleseed.

Here a UCLA professor recaps the debate between NYU Wagner Professor Mitchell Moss and NYC celebrity Matthew Broderick on NYU 2031 expansion. Both testified at the recent New York City Council public hearing. Their verbal boxing also was covered in the Gothamist and the New York Times.

“This is not the pristine Village of Sarah Jessica Parker, of ‘Sex and the City,’ of Matthew Broderick,” said Professor Moss at the NYC Council hearing. “This is the future of New York, and we have to build for the future.”

We have some new Pinterest boards! Check out “NYU memes” to see why we love the NYU Timekeeper and how NYU occupied Kimmel before it was cool to occupy Wall Street. Our “Urban Inspiration” board catalogues everything from smart cities to the London Underground that inspire and intrigue our Masters of Urban Planning (MUP) students. 

NYU Wagner’s Master of Urban Planning program, recently rated the #2 program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, brings students into direct contact with the critical urban challenges of our time.

The Athenian Oath was recited by the citizens of Athens, Greece, more than 2000 years ago. It is frequently recited by civic leaders in modern times as a timeless code of civic responsibility, applicable at the local, national and global level.

Here at NYU Wagner, it is a tradition for our graduating masters and doctoral candidates to recite the oath upon graduating from the program.

We will never bring disgrace on this our City by an act of dishonesty or cowardice.

We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the City both alone and with many.

We will revere and obey the City’s laws, and will do our best to incite a like reverence and respect in those above us who are prove to annul them or set them naught.

We will strive increasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty. In all these ways we will transmit this City, not only less, but greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.
