Transport Terminals And Modal Interchanges Planning and Design

Transport Terminals and Modal Interchanges is a compendium of architectural and engineering achievement, revealing the benefits of an integrated approach to planning * Clearly provides essential information on multi-modal terminals * Well illustrated and universally relevant, with case studies from the UK, Europe, North America, Australasia and the Far East * Understand how joined up thinking is applied on a large scale The movement towards multi-modal interchanges has only recently come of age. This book reviews the trend for the first time, explaining how separate modes of transport are brought together and linked through joined up thinking, enabling transport designers and authorities to exploit interchange opportunities more effectively. International case studies are used to show how existing examples were planned and designed, and ideas to improve transfer and mobility in future projects are also outlined. Christopher Blow has 25 years worldwide experience of design of transport buildings as partner and director of Scott Brownrigg Ltd, architects. He also holds a visiting professorship at the University of Surrey School of Engineering, UK.Blow, Christopher is the author of 'Transport Terminals And Modal Interchanges Planning and Design', published 2005 under ISBN 9780750656931 and ISBN 075065693X.
