Description

Transport systems, the vital arteries of modern societies and economies, shape our world and are shaped by it. The subject of this volume is the dynamic interactions between transport and the physical, economic, and human geographies it weaves through. Transport plays a central role in economic development and growth. It profoundly affects the socio-economic characteristics and spatial form of urban centers and rural areas alike. A new transport link can bring increases in population, employment, industrial activity, and wealth. In turn, these changes can lead to demands for further transport improvements.
