Comprehensive Transportation and Territorial Space Coordinated Planning

Dear Colleagues, 

Territorial space coordinated planning and comprehensive transportation are closely related concepts, and understanding the mechanisms governing their interactions and coordinated development has become an important focus of academic research. On the one hand, transportation networks serve as the backbone of national and regional development. A comprehensive transportation system–encompassing highways, railways, aviation, and waterborne transportation—drives the evolution and utilization of territorial space. On the other hand, transportation infrastructure and related activities exert increasing pressure on the protection of territorial space, particularly from ecological and agricultural land perspectives. Balancing development and protection, leveraging the network effects of transportation to empower regional growth, and simultaneously enhancing the environmental sustainability of the transportation sector are pressing scientific challenges that demand urgent attention.. To advance research in this critical field and to promote deeper integration of academic study, industry practice, study, and policy, we are pleased to launch a Special Issue of the journal Land, entitled “Comprehensive Transportation and Territorial Space Coordinated Planning”.
