Transport Geography
Transport geography is a subdiscipline of geography concerned with the mobility of freight, people, and information. It seeks to understand the spatial organization of mobility by considering its attributes and constraints as they relate to the origin, destination, extent, nature, and purpose of movements. The subject covers the main principles of transport geography, how relevant transportation is at different scales, and how transport geography…
Transport and Development
Transport is an important factor contributing to development since it is related to job creation, the support of supply chains, and social interactions. Since the Industrial Revolution, the development of transportation has been linked to growing economic opportunities. Transport development favors geographic specialization and competition and provides customers with a wider range of goods and services and access to employment.

Maritime Transport
Maritime transport is the linchpin of the global economy, acting as the physical support for its flows of freight. Although containerization was an important driver of change in maritime shipping, bulk cargoes such as petroleum, minerals, and grains are still the fundamental and enduring trades that support the large industrial sector and the dynamism of maritime transport. The fates of globalization and of maritime transport remain closely inter…
Cargomobilities: Moving Materials in a Global Age
Cargomobilities; cargo cult. To what extent can a book be judged by its cover and title? The reason why this question is asked is that cargo and mobilities are combined in a single word. Does such a neologism add anything of relevance outside a faster way to spell the mobility(ies) of cargo? Concerning the subtitle, moving freight would have been a better choice than moving materials, particularly since materials is rarely used in such a context.…
Introduction: Dossier on Freight Transport and Logistics
Freight, Gateways and Mega‐urban Regions: The Logistical Integration of the Bostwash Corridor 1
The geography of freight transportation evolves at various scales, but it is increasingly acknowledged that freight flows occurring at the local level are a result of global and regional economic processes. Internationally, distribution networks have expanded, namely through the division of production, manufacturing and consumption. This has been accompanied by a growth of the quantity of freight being shipped as well as by a complication of supp…
