Advanced Introduction to Urban Transport Planning (en Inglés) - Kevin J. Krizek;David A. King

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 planningConcise coverage of predominant concepts and theoriesApplication for both urban planners and engineersFuture 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.
