Présentation extrait du site : The Madrid Conference seeks to analyse the processes of interconnection and integration among the different modes of transport from a historical perspective, and will therefore deal with the various aspects that converge therein: economic, social, institutional, political, technological, territorial and patrimonial. Consequently, the suggested research topics related to the concept of intermodality are the following:

– International and transnational intermodality and its technical, economic and political-administrative aspects.

– Intermodality and migratory processes.

– Intermodality in metropolitan cities and its effects on urban development and on transport demands and everyday travel habits.

– The planning of intermodal complexes throughout history: projects, successes and failures.

– Spaces for modal interchange: stations, airports, sea and river ports.

– Technological consequences for modal interchange in the sea and river transport sphere: from stowage to container traffic.

– Intermodality in the air traffic sphere. The airport within reach of the city and major intermodal hubs: from metropolitan connections to the emergence of high-speed lines.

– Light intermodality in large cities: the different ways in which users access the transport system (walking, cycling and driving to major intermodal hubs).

– Intermodality and environment
