Using a spatial economics conceptual framework, Transport and the City examines the role of transportation in how, where, when, and why cities develop over time.
Part I examines cities as centers of exchange and the role transportation plays on commerce, land values, and housing. It looks at the dynamic interconnections between employment, residence, and the flows of people and goods with land, buildings, and transportation networks.
Part II focuses on the attempts to manage the development of cities, examining the role governments play in controlling land and transportation systems, the impact of pedestrian, public transportation, highway, and other transit oriented developments on city planning.
Part III concludes the book by looking at the socio-economic, technological, and policy trends which will influence the future of city and transportation design, including such areas as the transition to a service economy, population changes and household dynamics, energy use, self-driving vehicles, building and networks retrofitting, mobility, and income.
Text/ref foundational content for 1) Advanced students and researchers in transportation planning, transportation engineering, urban transportation geography, urban planning, urban economics, urban geography, land use, and human geography, and
