Overview
This is the first book to integrate models for facilities siting and land-use. Employing state-of-the-art quantitative models and case-studies, this book guides the siting of such facilities as transportation terminals, warehouses, nuclear power plants, military bases, landfills, emergency shelters, state parks, and industrial plants. It is very valuable to management-science analysts, transportation logisticians, civil and environmental engineers, economists, geographers, urban planners, developers, corporations, government officials, and anyone involved in facility operation and planning who wishes to avoid the costly mistakes that can result from poor locational decisions. Facility consolidation, contraction, expansion, and the traffic flow through these facilities are also discussed.Editorials
