A new book titled "Transportation and the Shape of Cities" explores how the physical space required by different modes of transport—pedestrian, micromobility, car, train, and transit—shapes urban environments. Authors Christof Spieler, David Copeland-Loredo, and Mandi Chapa argue that the geometry or footprint of these modes is a more significant constraint than policy or politics. The book, featuring hundreds of scale drawings and illustrations, aims to provide planners, engineers, and city dwellers with a deeper understanding of urban transportation dynamics. AI
