This paper discusses how innovations in passenger transport networks and systems relate to classical schemes of spatial planning of social activity patterns. Six basic forms of a spatial pattern are presented: (1) the linear city; (2) the complete city; (3) the garden city; (4) the broadacre city; (5) the concentrated city; and (6) the modular city. A number of possible innovations are discussed. They all have in common that they should be clean and fast in a mix of individual and collective systems. Finally, some excercises are presented in which new systems are related to familiar patterns. (A)
