A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The need for a local response to climate change and easing traffic congestion is among the challenges that occupy the minds of many city planners and administrators. A solution embraced by cities worldwide has been the introduction of shared transport. This type of transport includes more conventional modes such as carpool networks or bikes and car sharing systems, as well as newer and more technological ones such as electric bikes or scooters. Shared transport stands out for its worldwide success, and it is often described as a product of the digital age, as most shared transport modes rely quite heavily on technology. This chapter investigates the urban integration of shared transport in cities while paying attention to the preferred location of stations and their design.
