The design of human settlements is inextricably linked with transportation, with respect to both internal circulation and connection with other settlements. The most obvious example is the typical water port city on Earth, whether it be Boston, Rome, or Hong Kong. Deep harbors and easy access to waterborne transportation help explain the location of most cities globally. Other considerations also drive city location – notably access to other transportation networks (rails, canals, airports, or spaceports). Internal transportation matters greatly in considering the design and layout of a new city and, equally important, how that internal circulation system relates to an external network.
