Theories of transport
Transport theories explain how people and goods move from one place to another. They explore factors like the most efficient routes, types of transport (roads, rail, air, water), and how technology, infrastructure, and policies influence movement. These theories help urban planners and policymakers design better systems to reduce congestion, improve safety, and lower costs. They also consider economic, environmental, and social impacts to create sustainable transportation solutions that meet the needs of communities while minimizing negative effects.
