Book Description
The first book to review this exciting new trend in transportation systems design that has only recently come of age
Product 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.
* First book of its kind gives you essential information on multi-modal terminals
* International relevance illustrated though case studies from the UK, Europe, North America, Australasia and the Far East
* Understand how 'joined-up thinking' is applied on a large scale

From the Back Cover
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.
