Urban mobility is a subject of global interest. It’s human nature, especially for those who live in cities. For Brazil, this problem is very important as it affects income, the environment, productivity, mood and health. Due to this concern, since the beginning of the new millennium, governments have committed to the National Urban Mobility Policy. In 2012, the Mobility Law, nº 12,587/12, was approved, which recommends that all Brazilian cities with 20,000 inhabitants or more, develop an urban mobility plan for the municipality. FURB is committed to small and medium-sized municipalities and to region structured this specialization course, to help municipalities and small and medium-sized cities, to comply with the obligation set out in law 12,587/12, but with wisdom and discernment. The course is unprecedented in the country, due to its focus and approach to small and medium-sized cities. The course is divided into five modules: Urban Mobility Policy, Innovation and Sustainability, Mobility Project, Urban Mobility Governance and Technology in Transport Systems. Each module has three to four subjects. The teachers are experienced and come from different locations, bringing examples and experiences: Lisbon (Portugal) Barcelona (Spain), Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, UFSC – Florianópolis, UFSC – Joinville and FURB – Blumenau. Who are the clients of this course or who are the main users of the knowledge conveyed in the disciplines? They are professionals who work in institutions such as:
