Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to
be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. 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.

Accessibility is a concept central to integrated transport and land
use planning. The goal of improving accessibility for all modes,
for all people, has made its way into mainstream transport policy
and planning in communities worldwide. This unique and fascinating
book introduces new accessibility approaches to transport planning
across Europe and the United States. The expert contributors
present a wide variety of perspectives on transport and
communication issues and explore their impacts on society at an
international level. Best practice in both accessibility analysis
and modelling are highlighted via widely interdisciplinary
approaches. Moreover, future objectives and areas for research are
clearly addressed. This book will prove an absorbing read for
scholars, researchers and students working on accessibility issues
across various academic fields including civil engineering,
economics, geography, and the social sciences. Transport and urban
planners will also find the book to be an invaluable reference
tool. Contributors: K.W. Axhausen, X. Cao, C. Chorus, P.

As cities around the globe respond to rapid technological changes
and political pressures, coordinated transport and land use
planning is an often targeted aim. Metropolitan Transport and Land
Use, the second edition of Planning for Place and Plexus, provides
unique and updated perspectives on metropolitan transport networks
and land use planning, challenging current planning strategies,
offering frameworks to understand and evaluate policy, and
suggesting alternative solutions. The book includes current and
cutting-edge theory, findings, and recommendations which are
cleverly illustrated throughout using international examples. This
revised work continues to serve as a valuable resource for
students, researchers, practitioners, and policy advisors working
across transport, land use, and planning.
