URBAN GROWTH AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT NETWORKS; THE CASE OF THE DUTCH RAILWAYS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

SPOORWEGEN EN STEDELIJKE ONTWIKKELING IN NEDERLAND, 1839 - 1900

This paper discusses the mutual relationship of transport network development and urban growth, in the context of the railway system in The Netherlands. In order to analyse the impact of urban growth on network development, the network development in The Netherlands is simulated using an algorithm based on the criterium of net returns on investment. Furthermore, the reverse relationship is investigated: the question adressed is to what extent the variance in growth rates of cities in The Netherlands can be explained by factors such as increase in accessibility.
