Features: This book serves as a collection of papers from the Urban Development and Comprehensive Transportation System session of the China-France Economic Symposium. It includes research by 12 experts and scholars from China, France, and Germany on urban comprehensive transportation systems. The book features analyses by domestic experts on the current state of urban transportation in China, explorations into transportation development strategies, and insights into the design of new transportation hub spaces. At the same time, it presents the latest research findings from Europe in the field of comprehensive transportation systems and discussions on future urban development trends.
