Infrastructure and Transport History and GIS

Infrastructure and transport history study how roads, railways, and bridges have developed over time and their impact on society. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help visualize and analyze this evolution by mapping historical data. Historical GIS combines these tools, allowing researchers to track changes in infrastructure and transportation networks over different periods. By integrating maps, census data, and other historical records, historians can better understand how transportation shaped urban growth, economies, and social dynamics, offering valuable insights into past communities and their connections to each other.
