The Transport Geography Perspective

Each scientific discipline tries to offer a perspective from which the real world can be understood and interpreted. Transport geography, by seeking to understand movements, focuses on the locations that generate and handle them, on the interactions of people, freight and information they represent as well as the infrastructures set in place to support them. In many cases, the infrastructures, locations and interactions are specific to a domain of circulation, let it be passengers or freight, but in many instances they are shared (e.g. roads or airports that can be used for passengers and freight transportation alike).
