TRANSPORT NETWORKS IN EUROPE. CONCEPTS, ANALYSIS AND POLICIES

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. This book explores current debates and presents new proposals for well-functioning infrastructure networks. Key issues discussed include: Regional development; Congestion; Urban transport policy; Private-public cooperation; Environmental sustainability; and Transport borders and barriers. The authors emphasize sustainable transport and provide a wide spectrum of policy recommendations for sustainable transport networks at the European, national and urban levels.
