, WEEK 1 Built Environment and Transportation
Urban systems and transportation systems are intrinsically connected.
- Historically, new transport technology induced changes in worldwide urban systems.
- Expansion of cities became possible due to new means of transportation.
- Configuration of land use offers opportunities but also sets constraints, considering transport
mode.
1.1 History
< 1800’s Pre-industrial era
Limited transport technology
- No mechanized forms of transportation
1800 – 1870 Industrial Revolution
Mechanization of transportation
- Steam engine (as a water pump)
- First steamship on the Delaware river (1790)
Regular maritime routes
Land transport systems
- Roads were commonly unpaved and could not be used to effectively carry heavy loads
Freights shipping canals
- Linking different segments of fluvial systems into a comprehensive waterway system
- Lowered significantly land transport costs
Railway systems
- Access to national resources and markets
- End of the canal era:
- Many canals fell into despair
- Unable to compete with the speed and flexibility of rail
- Only the most strategic links were kept
1870 – 1920 Modern Transport Systems
Growth of international transportation
- Shift from coal to oil in ships:
- Reduce their energy consumption by a factor of 90%.
- Increase in ship size (no longer limited by wood).
- Construction of the Suez and Panama canals.
Dominance of the rail transport system
- By the early 20th century, most systems reached their peak.
- Overinvestment and over development, a phase of decline followed.
Modern urban transportation
- Introduction of tramways (1880; horse drawn and then electric)
- Underground metro systems in large cities (London, 1863)
- Bicycle (1867); cheap mobility for the masses
1920 – 1970 Fordist Era
Internal combustion engine
- Diesel engine (1885)
- Fast, inexpensive and ubiquitous transport modes (car, buses and truck)
Mass production system
- Ford Model T: about 14 million Ford Model t were built (1913 – 1927)
- Increased demand for oil products and other raw materials (steel and rubber)
