This expanded and revised fourth edition of The Geography of
Transport Systems provides a comprehensive and accessible
introduction to the field with a broad overview of its concepts,
methods and areas of application. Aimed mainly at an undergraduate
audience, it provides an overview of the spatial aspects of
transportation and focuses on how the mobility of passengers and
freight is linked with geography. The book is divided in ten
chapters, each covering a specific conceptual dimension, including
networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban
transportation and environmental impacts, and updated with the
latest information available. The fourth edition offers new
material on the issues of transport and the economy, city
logistics, supply chains, security, energy, the environment, as
well as a revised content structure. With over 160 updated
photographs, figures and maps, The Geography of Transport Systems
presents transportation systems at different scales ranging from
global to local and focuses on different contexts such as North
America, Europe and East Asia. This volume is an essential resource
for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those
interested in economic and urban geography, transport planning and
engineering. A companion web site, which contains additional
material, has been developed for the book and can be found here:
