Urban Transport Planning: The Developmental Approach

Urban transport planning is a complex and challenging field that requires a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and environmental factors that affect transportation systems. In this book, Dr. John W. Dickey provides a comprehensive overview of the developmental approach to urban transport planning, which emphasizes the need to consider the unique needs and circumstances of each city or region.

Dickey begins by discussing the history of urban transport planning, from its origins in the early 20th century to the present day. He then provides a detailed overview of the various theories and models that have been used to guide transport planning, such as the gravity model, the land use-transport interaction model, and the activity-based model.
