Advanced Introduction to Urban Transport Planning by Kevin J. Krizek
Insightful and original in its approach, this Advanced Introduction to Urban Transport Planning provides a fresh look at cost-efficiency and casts the craft of transport planning in new light, allowing engineers and urban planners to understand the benefits of breaking mobility-centric systems that favour cars and prioritising multi-modal transport systems that promote access. It features in-depth analysis of traditional methods and how these are changing due to new technologies, financial constraints and evolving environmental trends.
Key features include:
- Discussion of advantages of urban areas in terms of transport service provision
- Clear distillation of priorities for a new era of transport planning
- Concise coverage of predominant concepts and theories
- Application for both urban planners and engineers
- Future oriented, cost-effective strategy.
This Advanced Introduction will be invaluable for students of urban planning, transport geography, environmental studies, urban studies and civil engineering. It will also provide a useful update for urban planners, elected officials and civil engineers alike.
