Sustainability and the Design of Transport Interchanges
Design principles for transport interchanges and the analysis of best practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and abroad are the focus of this book. The book discusses how the interchange is a new form of transport building that integrates a single whole or various mode of public transport that puts the passenger first (rather than the infrastructure). The book demonstrates how this complex new building type integrates with the city, on the one hand, and with different types of transport on the other. The idea of ‘interchange’ is increasingly relevant as town planners, engineers and architects address the question of sustainable development with emphasis on energy efficiency, social cohesion, access for the elderly, and urban regeneration. The book provides design guidance on a new type of building with useful and informative case studies that provide ideas and important detail.
