Features: China's urbanization has entered a period of rapid development. Cities in some developed regions are expanding and spreading along transportation axes, gradually forming urban agglomerations. The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions are typical examples. Based on an analysis of the formation mechanisms of urban agglomerations and their interaction with transportation systems, this book focuses on the formulation of strategic plans for comprehensive transportation systems in urban agglomerations. It introduces the actual conditions of urban agglomeration transportation systems abroad and conducts preliminary research and analysis using Chinese examples. The book also provides specific planning methods for passenger and logistics transportation systems in urban agglomerations. This book serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students in transportation engineering to conduct research, and can also be used by engineering and research personnel in fields such as urban planning, regional planning, transportation engineering, railway and road engineering, and related disciplines.
