| Sumario: | A new system of public transportation that can simplify and shorten the trips made throughout the city, and
do that both cheap and environment-friendly. Sounds like good news. This new system, though, require an
all new type of infrastructure, differing from what we are used to see in our cities. Podcar, or PRT, as the
system is called can become a transport revolution, possibly. If that revolution does happen it is crucial that we
beforehand have studied the possible effects it can cause on our city environment, from a spatial point of view.
This thesis thoroughly describes the function and essence of the PRT system and presents what is available
today and in what forms. By planning a PRT system in Gothenburg a discussion is continuously carried about
what problems may arise, what possibilities are at hand and how an addition of this new system can be made
in a functional and attractive way, if possible. ************ |
