The Geography of Transport Systems Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities, including commuting,manufacturing or supplying energy. Transport systems composed of infrastructures,modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals,institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. Understandinghow mobility is linked with geography is the main purpose of this valuable and accessible book.
The Geography of Transport Systems , concerned with movements of freight, peopleand information, tries to link spatial constraints and attributes with the origin, thedestination, the extent, the nature and the purpose of movements. It is divided into ninechapters, each covering a specific conceptual dimension, including:
• Networks • Modes and terminals
• International transportation
• Urban transportation
• Environmental impacts
Each chapter also covers methodologies linked with transport geography such asaccessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and geographic information systems for transportation.
This student-friendly book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods and areas of application. It is highly illustratedwith over 100 figures and tables and includes an extensive glossary. Jean-Paul Rodrigue is an Associate Professor of Geography in the Department of Economics and Geography at Hofstra University, USA. Claude Comtois is Professor of Geography at the University of Montreal, Canada. Brian Slack is Professor of Geography at Concordia University, Canada.
