Transport networks are becoming increasingly important now that free trade, open access, increased competition and greater market orientation are fundamental to the current restructuring of Europe. Infrastructure networks are the corner stones of European integration and this book provides a comprehensive overview of the current concepts and policies which are being examined by researchers, government officials and policy makers.

‘The welcome feature of the book is the emphasis given to networks, as distinct from individual routes and modes. In this respect, the volume both reflects and reinforces an important change in the approach to transport analysis, the growing awareness that policy must consider the relevant as a whole if sensible policies are to be devised.’
– Michael Chisholm, Regional Studies

因为不断增长的显著性e of transport networks in the European Union, this book will be essential reading for those actively engaged in transport policy formulation and implementation. It will also be of use to transport analysts, geographers and regional scientists.’
