Very high quality course with strong theoretical foundation and examples from real world.

- Suggestions for learners: This course requires high-level of self-discipline and it is important for us to really invest time to go through all the suggested reading and video materials to maximize what we learn from the course.

- Course materials: The reading materials of the course are adequate for learners to have a general idea about different aspects in urban planning, such as tactic experimentation, urban activism, and bureaucratic hurdles. It is also a nice arrangement to include talks with the authors of the papers. However, I would suggest to update some of the materials so they don't focus on COVID measures, in order to make them more applicable beyond that given unusual period. It is also suggested to add Q&A session between course moderators and learners to enhance our "classroom" experience.

- Peer review: Firstly, some assignments I reviewed have an attachment totally irrelevant to the course. Therefore, it would be necessary to filter this kind of failed assignments first to ensure fairness. Secondly, I would suggest to set a minimum word count, for example 50 words, for the peer-review questions so that evaluators give enough comments to support their rating and help the learners improve.

All in all, I would recommend this course to urban planning beginners to gain a basic idea in the field and to understand what self-organised actions we can take that may bring instant change to our neighborhood.

I have no complaint about course content but the way it was conducted is very impersonal despite it is about having communication. None of the instructors emails were provided even for the period the content was accessed. Whatever the questions and quizes were asked it seems to be that the instructors wanted more ideas for their future research rather than sharing that information with other learners. We don't know who else was in the class. This class is is no difference from the Youtube videos. As it was communicated as a certificate cource, Please send a proper certificate to my email address that I can print. A digital certificate cost is covered in my fee, hopefully.

The resources and discussions in this course are centered around promoting urban cycling. While that's a great goal for reclaiming the street, there's more to urban spaces than bike lanes. I would have liked to see more of an emphasis on parklets, shared streets, etc. Also, I think the content is very academic and theoretical, especially the journal articles and webinar recordings. If you want to feel like you're taking a college class, go for it. If you're more of a casual student that's taking a course to explore a hobby or as a change of pace, there are probably better options out there.

Como estudante de arquitetura e urbanismo no Brasil, achei o curso interessante mas esperava um pouco mais. Ficou muito focado nas políticas públicas europeias durante o confinamento do COVID-19 em relação à ciclovias e o uso de bicicletas.

Really fluffy stuff focused only on cycling in Western Europe and the USA. Did not learn a lot. :/

What is refreshing about this course is that it challenges students to get outside their comfort zones where they are. Creating change in public space will inevitably require a change of approach. Being that person who stands apart from normal behaviour and challenges widely held norms helps others think for themselves, and start conversations with their groups.

Academic understanding is powerful, but when it comes to reclaiming streets from cars, it takes action. This course is a great overview and practical starter for being effective on the street.

As I learned a lot from the first course, this was more detailed, how can we use the experiences of the NL improvement.

we have the same/similar issue all around the world (UK, Luxembourg, Hungary, India, Canada), it has no sense to not use this experience.

They learned a lot during the last 20-40 years, our job is easier: adapt their solution.

Summary: Cooperation between people - organizations - companies and local experts. The local politicians have to serve their citizens.

A great course that I really enjoyed. You will learn about the theory and practice of tactical urbanism, of local initiatives, with examples and analysis that enrich the discussion, as well as strategies to improve our neighborhoods. I am sure that I will carry out the activity that I presented as an action plan. They inspired me a lot, thank you for that!

It was very informative, highly current and exactly the right amount of study to accomplish even with a full-time job. But reading those scientific articles within the suggested 45 Min. wasn't possible - more like twice the time if your mother tongue isn't English. Enjoyed it anyway and will think about completing another course once I'm recovered :)

Excellent course! It combines social and psychological theory with guerrilla activism to provide a compelling argument that change is not only possible but within reach of everyone.

A very well organized program. This is the first time i had connected to cycling and passenger oriented one. Again thanks a lot for the new ideas and planning thank you coursera .

Excellent course really grew my knowledge of the area and learnt lots of new insights and open my perspective to new ways of thinking. Highly recommend

Me gusto mucho todo el contenido y la practicidad que tiene. Es aprender desde la practica. Gracias por el contenido.

Excellent blend of reading and other material made it enjoyable throughout. Thanks for doing this

Very interesting and fun course! The course was a great match for my work as a placemaker.

Great course material and assignments, definitely worth the time and effort

The course was pretty satisfactory and useful!

GOOD COURSERA

Excellent

This was a wonderful course full of case studies and information to equip local advocates and urban planners. Even though I have non-academic knowledge of the topics found in this course, I found it as an okay introduction to those same topics in an academic sense. Maybe another course would be better to help people get introduced into the academic studies of urban planning would be great. I found that I was unfamiliar with some of the terms and approaches initially mentioned in this course. However, it didn't take me long to understand the content and I am thankful to have taken it.

Awesome! I learned a lot. But, unfortunately, the course is a non-credit course. I can't to enjoy in my curriculum lattes :(
