EPONA RIDES THE HYPERLOOP

Course objectives
This course will help you grasp the evolution of mobility and transport that created the urban, suburban and exurban environments we are now familiar with and what to expect in the coming years and decades if anything happens at all…

Course description
Can Link ride a horse in Sim City ? Are we better at Zoo Tycoon than building a Greater Paris ? The course will revolve around the idea of planning, the history of gathering people together and creating devices and infrastructures to make them meet. One wring to clean them all, one ringtone to call them, one ring road to bring them all and in the suburbs bind them.

Through texts, talks, videos, workshops, activities and debating, we will try to understand the world we live in a bit better and how in our own little way, we can make it a better place while improving English communication at the same time which could be a good thing and wouldn’t hurt much.
