Beskrivning

Mobility, accessibility, networks, and interactions across space are at the heart of how spaces and places are brought into being and continue to change. In a series of articles that chart the development of thinking about space, place, and transport, this book highlights the role that a geographic perspective has played in transport studies, raises questions about transport policy, and points to additional questions worthy of research. The volume is divided into four parts covering fundamental concepts, individual behaviour in urban spatial context, inter-regional transport and policy issues.

Recensioner i media

'Overall, this book constitutes an extraordinary manual for postgraduate students in that it offers a significant overview of some of the most outstanding papers since 1970 in the field of transportation and geography. This can be very helpful for students to frame their research into progress in the discipline. In addition, it is also useful for other scholars and those with limited access to academic journals.'
