Redirections in Transport Geography

Abstract

Transport geography lacks a unique identity. The role of the engineer, economist and even the sociologist is becoming widely accepted in multidisciplinary transport studies but that of the geographer is not self-evident. This identity crisis stems from the widespread borrowing from other disciplines that has characterized transport geography's development. If this dilemma is to be resolved there is a pressing need to specify what the transport geographer's particular contribution could be in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary transport studies. Before attempting to redirect the subdiscipline towards a unique identity the derivative nature of the evolution of transport geography has to be reviewed.
