King provides a concise introduction to central place theory and its antecedents, describing the different lines of work that have flowed from the theory. The discussion is kept at a non-mathematical, non-technical level relying on diagrams and maps taken from various studies. He illustrates the theory through a series of case studies and examples which cover a wide range of countries.

Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.

This study looks at applying the principles of Walter Christaller's Central Place theory within a contemporary urban area. The challenge of this is that urban areas are much more complex and less predictable than the rural patterns studied by Christaller. Factors such as numbers of retail jobs, numbers of stores, sales per square foot, access to highway interchanges, and more recently the internet, in the United States has vastly altered the principles on which the Central Place Theory is based. So if we look at the retail centers of a city, such as Cincinnati, Ohio, can we find patterns that would show that the Central Place Theory properly explains the current locations of those same centers? Using a set number of centers in the Cincinnati Metropolitan Area, certain characteristics were used to determine which centers were important at which level of the local hierarchy. The center's characteristics were then placed in an index where a multiple regression analysis was used to find their weights or their relative importance to each other. From here, the patterns that developed as a result were analyzed and a complete picture of the urban effectiveness of the Central Place Theory began to take shape. The results that were found showed that the Central Place Theory does apply, but not perfectly. This is due to many reasons, but primarily three: the Cincinnati Metropolitan Area is not a homogeneous theoretical region, so because of this there is not a homogenous distribution of centers; "Big Box" retail stores and locations similar to them drastically change the nature, scale and locality of centers; and unlike a theoretical landscape of Christaller, accessibility is not uniform and centrality is greatly affected by distance from and vicinity to interstate highways. Because of these reasons, as well as others, this study finds that the Central Place Theory is not entirely suited to explaining centrality patterns in urban areas.

This edited volume provides an essential resource for urban morphology, the study of urban forms and structures, offering a much-needed mathematical perspective. Experts on a variety of mathematical modeling techniques provide new insights into specific aspects of the field, such as street networks, sustainability, and urban growth. The chapters collected here make a clear case for the importance of tools and methods to understand, model, and simulate the formation and evolution of cities. The chapters cover a wide variety of topics in urban morphology, and are conveniently organized by their mathematical principles. The first part covers fractals and focuses on how self-similar structures sort themselves out through competition. This is followed by a section on cellular automata, and includes chapters exploring how they generate fractal forms. Networks are the focus of the third part, which includes street networks and other forms as well. Chapters that examine complexity and its relation to urban structures are in part four.The fifth part introduces a variety of other quantitative models that can be used to study urban morphology. In the book’s final section, a series of multidisciplinary commentaries offers readers new ways of looking at the relationship between mathematics and urban forms. Being the first book on this topic, Mathematics of Urban Morphology will be an invaluable resource for applied mathematicians and anyone studying urban morphology. Additionally, anyone who is interested in cities from the angle of economics, sociology, architecture, or geography will also find it useful. "This book provides a useful perspective on the state of the art with respect to urban morphology in general and mathematics as tools and frames to disentangle the ideas that pervade arguments about form and function in particular. There is much to absorb in the pages that follow and there are many pointers to ways in which these ideas can be linked to related theories of cities, urban design and urban policy analysis as well as new movements such as the role of computation in cities and the idea of the smart city. Much food for thought. Read on, digest, enjoy." From the foreword by Michael Batty
