While the corridor as a spatial arrangement is familiar to transportation geographers, I argue that it has not been thoroughly explored as a type of space comparable to networks, territories, or scales. Drawing on river geomorphology and its four-dimensional conceptualization of the corridor, I use the Will County Inland Port—the largest inland port in North America—to demonstrate how a deeper theorization of the space of the corridor can inform our understanding of the relationship between transportation infrastructure and its surroundings. By considering a corridor as not only one-dimensional, along which goods and people flow back and forth, but incorporating the vertical, anisotropic, and temporal dimensions as well, we can better understand the impacts of infrastructure on its surroundings and the broader relationship between mobility and space.

运河、集装箱和走廊：将河流地貌带入北美最大的内陆港口

虽然交通地理学家对走廊作为一种空间安排很熟悉，但我认为它还没有被彻底探索为一种与网络、领土或尺度相媲美的空间类型。利用河流地貌及其对走廊的四维概念化，我使用北美最大的内陆港口威尔县内陆港来展示对走廊空间的更深入的理论化如何帮助我们理解两者之间的关系交通基础设施及其周边地区。通过将走廊不仅视为货物和人员沿着其来回流动的一维维度，而且还考虑了垂直、各向异性和时间维度，我们可以更好地理解基础设施对其周围环境的影响以及基础设施之间更广泛的关系。流动性和空间。
