Where Is My HandOut?

Is a sub-discipline of geography concerned about the mobility of people, freight and information. It seeks to understand the spatial organization of mobility by considering its attributes and constraints as they relate of the   origin, destination, extent, nature and purpose of movements. Transport geography can be understood from a series of core principles: - Transportation is the spatial linking of a  derived demand . - Distance  is a  relative concept  involving space, time and effort. - Space  is at the same time the generator, support and a constraint for mobility. - The relation between space and time can  converge  or diverge. - A location can be a central, where it generates and attract traffic, or an intermediate element where traffic transits through. - To overcome geography, transportation must consume space. - Transportation seeks  massification  but is con...
