The Spatial Network Analysis for Multimodal Urban Transport Systems (SNAMUTS)
Review Quotes:
"The final chapter of the book (Chapter 9) summarizes the overall findings and reflects upon answers to introductory questions such as "What structures and types of urban form can optimize accessibility?" or "How should we invest in public transport infrastructure?" (p. 3) leading to the conclusion that a "one size fits all-appoach" (p. 291) does not provide a realistic accessibility-optimizing perspective. This is also what I consider the top contribution of this book. [T]his book an important and well-needed pioneering contribution for accessibility planners worldwide."
