Summary:
Rotterdam's history has left it particularly marked by movement and transit. Construction of a modern transport infrastructure began before 1940, and continued with renewed vigour during and after the postwar reconstruction. The cityscape is defined by waterways, bridges, streets, arterial canals, avenues and a rhomboid motorway system. The city serves as a good case study and illustration of the relationship between mobility and urban development. This book uses word and image to examine the social significance of mobility. The authors draw on Rotterdam examples to illustrate the link between mobility and urban development.

Summary:
A city’s infrastructure—its tangle of streets, tunnels, routes and lines—can be much more than a mere functional necessity or an ad hoc constellation. Designed and constructed carefully and purposefully, "infratecture" can add significant sociological, cultural, ecological and economic value to a city. In this volume, Rotterdam-based traffic engineer, academic and(...)

Summary:
A city’s infrastructure—its tangle of streets, tunnels, routes and lines—can be much more than a mere functional necessity or an ad hoc constellation. Designed and constructed carefully and purposefully, "infratecture" can add significant sociological, cultural, ecological and economic value to a city. In this volume, Rotterdam-based traffic engineer, academic and architect Marc Verheijen discusses the infrastructure of cities from 15 different perspectives and features 30 examples of international best practices in infrastructure design. A practically oriented book about designing and building everything from roads and viaducts to environmental habitats and noise barriers, Infratecture is also an argument for these integrated design solutions, all the more urgent at a moment of accelerated global urbanization. Infratecture argues that, with the right mind set, genuine cooperation and sophisticated design, infrastructure can form a significant, and positive, part of the everyday environment.
