This book provides an overview of freight policy and planning in different cities around the world. It discusses the benefits of treating freight as a distinct issue in urban planning and suggests ways to improve the efficiency of freight transportation in cities.
Drawing on research in Australia, the United States, Great Britain, Canada and the Philippines, this book outlines some of the key ways in which the treatment of freight as a distinct issue in urban policy, planning and design would benefit the community. The book is intended for professionals responsible for urban policy, transport planning and traffic engineering, and should also be useful to graduate students and those interested in urban development.
