Review: "Moving Forward explores the ways in which we will travel. As well as designs for cars, bikes, planes, trains, tubes and trams, this book examines the architecture of transit, from airports to train stations. Today's lifestyles and fluid work patterns, shifting demographics, social pressures and environmental demands are changing modern mobility. Innovations in technologies, materials and fuel are the keys to our future journeys. Based on interviews with leading transport designers and architects, and an international range of case studies, this book identifies major influences and key trends for the future."--BOOK JACKET.
