New book reveals how transport geometry shapes city design

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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.
