THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR TO THE NEW POST-1973 ENVIRONMENT

L'ADJUSTEMENT DU SECTEUR DES TRANSPORTS AU NOUVEAU CONTEXTE D'APRES 1973

After the big discontinuity of 1973 the future of transportation has become more heavily dependent on exogenous factors of a demographic, geopolitical and macroeconomic nature which not so long ago could be viewed as so many "structural certainties". Such dependence leads to contemplate the 1980's as a uniquely troublesome period to go through. One even fears that economic and social-cultural trends within individual countries will hinder a satisfactory solution to the foreseeable difficulties. The author recommends that transport planning should take into consideration severe oil shortage. (TRRL)
