Reviews

'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 'Because of the growing significance 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.' -- European Foundation for Management Development
