ABSTRACT
The form and content of this geographical interpretation of movement in cities has grown out of two major fields of writing and research: the literature of academic and practical transport planning, and that concerned with social and economic aspects of urban geography. We have adopted an integrative strategy towards these fields that has enhanced our understanding of the structure of travel within towns, its geographical implications, and the planning problems which it presents. Whatever the success of the book in communicating our spatial perspective on urban movement, there is no doubt that it is selective and only an introduction to the insights that each field can give to the other.
