This expanded and revised fifth 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 into 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 fifth edition offers new and updated material on information technologies and
mobility, e-commerce, transport and the economy, mobility and society, supply
chains, security, pandemics, energy and the environment and climate change. With
over 140 updated figures and maps, The Geography of Transport Systems presents
transportation systems at different scales ranging from global to local.
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 website, which contains additional material such
as photographs, maps, figures and PowerPoint presentations, has been developed for
the book and can be found here: https://transportgeography.org/
