Plan Canada Spring 2025 Issue
Transportation
We go to places. We transport things to places. Other things come to where we are.
The activity of moving people becomes complex when dealing with large quantities and vast distances. The motivations of individual actors within these systems of movement further complicate matters. How do planners shape the networks that connect origins and destinations throughout and between our communities?
The Spring 2025 issue of Plan Canada is intended to discuss ideas about how to improve movement and share stories about planned and completed transportation network projects.
Write what moves you! Plan Canada is seeking articles that explore a range of transportation-related issues, including but not limited to:
- All modes of transportation of people and goods
- How modes of transportation integrate or conflict with other modes of transportation
- Transportation infrastructure and technology
- How land use planning and individual developments integrate with transportation infrastructure and networks
- Transportation network forecasting, modelling, visualization, analytics, and collaboration tools to inform, engage, and shape decisions
- Transportation network planning
- Transportation network operations
- Transportation safety
- Transportation equity
- Transportation sustainability and extreme weather impacts
- Transportation policy and politics
- Connections between transportation networks and the economy
- International innovations and best practices
