This is an extremely insightful course. I'm hoping to apply this knowledge one day in my third world home country and improve the cities back home.

Very good course. Indeed it helps me to understand sustainability in built environment holistically. However I still need to complete another 2 courses in this specialization course; Sustainable Neighbourhoods and Sustainable Transportation Networks and Streetscapes which are not included for free enrolment in the specialization. I wonder why?

The Regional Sustainability course provides extensive knowledge of planning principles, smart growth strategies and the importance of community engagement, supported by engaging video lectures and practical examples

It was somewhat thorough, the printed information should more closely match the videos

Lots of useful insights, but some are very repetitive.

There was useful information in the course and it was mostly well-organized. Some parts were very repetitive; for example, the video titled More Multimodal Considerations in Week 3 almost entirely repeats information from the previous video about biking, congestion fees, and shared vehicles. Also, the quiz questions are badly proofread and some answers are incorrect (for example, the answers to question 14 and 16 of the quiz for week 4 are incorrect).

Ok. For context I've taken several coursera courses in Sustainability. This was by far the worst. The lecturer is slow and monotone, no enthusiasm for the material. I ended up listening to all the lectures at 1.5x speed so that it had some pace. In week 3 you can hear frequent phone and laptop alerts going off in the background. You can hear his notes being shuffled with each slide.
I really don't understand who the audience is for this course. It presents the idea that encouraging people to bike or use public transit as revolutionary. Note that all examples in this course are in the US so perhaps targeting mid-sized suburban american town residents?
The week 4 'case study' was not a case study. It's just the lecturer reading a list of objectives and planned policies for Fairfax County Virginia. Not critical evaluation. No comparison to other regions. Just a full hour plus of reading planned policies. The exam on this is brutal because it's looking for remembering the details, not the concepts. Plus a few of the answers are wrong.
There is some good anecdotes, and the slides are actually well made, hence 2 stars, but I honestly wish I'd never started.

Concepts were simple and should have been delivered in a more compact way.
Presentation accompanying voiceover was not content rich.
No presentation slides to download. Major concepts could be captured in a simple (ideally downloadable) table for use during the tests.
I didn't want to progress with the specialization after taking the first course

I expected something more dynamic and more packed with useful and interesting knowledge. I will try to finish this course but not sure if this is going to happen.
Just small improvements like more dynamic and charismatic lecturer would make this course a great experience ;)

With my 2 stars I am not challenging the content of the course, but the form it is developed - very basic and not engaging at all. The lecturer should try to put in the lectures some more passion and involvement.

this is a very specific course with extremely local cases and information that doesn't actually benefit people globally
