Description
This is the first book to review a trend in transport systems which has only recently come of age: the multi-modal interchange. Separate
modes of transport are being linked through 'joined-up thinking', and transport designers and authorities are only now able to exploit
interchange opportunities. This book presents examples of how these new opportunities have been planned and designed, and outlines how
transfer and mobility can be improved in the future.
Blow takes the airport as the focal point of true multi-modal passenger terminals
and presents the development of these buildings as representing a new experience in travel. The book shows that the success of the experience
of transferring from one mode of transport to another depends on the many factors, including congestion in an already overloaded system,
and the way that designers and managers have addressed contingency planning. International examples are drawn from areas where mobility
is most concentrated and the demands on design are at their highest. The book also addresses important issues of rebuilding and redevelopment,
where once separate modes of transport are being linked to each other, and where short-term inconveniences rectify past wrongs in the
long term. It is a compendium of architectural and engineering achievement.
Audience
Professionals and students of architecture, design and civil, structural and service engineering. Transport managers, planners and operators of transport services.
