Full Description
This book examines different aspects of public transport design and its relationship to passenger experiences, reflecting the growing concern with approaching mobility through the lens of the arts and humanities and social sciences.
The chapters in this book explore how transport environments, mobility infrastructures, and embodied movement practices have been shaped and 'designed' by a whole host of experts, professionals and political actors for different ends. Examples focus on a range of transport modes in different parts of the world, including buses in urban Chile, underground metro railways in China and the UK, and railways in Sweden and Japan. The book examines the role of architecture and design features in shaping, affording and hindering passenger flows, behaviour and experience, resulting in infrastructures which may include or exclude certain groups of passengers in different ways.
This book will be of interest to scholars and students in geography, urban planning, architecture, design studies, sociology, and mobility studies. It will also appeal to practitioners in transport planning, urban design, and public policy who are concerned with creating more inclusive and effective mobility infrastructures.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Mobilities.
