’This book brings together a formidable range of international researchers to present the complexities of applied policy analysis of transport networks, through a set of theoretically clear and empirically informative contributions. The key issues of the day are covered, including the efficiency of transport systems and regional equity, but also new dimensions of the debate such as acceptability of change, vulnerability of transport systems, and uncertainty and risk in transport decisions. It is agenda setting and challenging in its coverage.’ David Banister, University College London, UK 'This up-to-date selection of papers addresses the most vital and emerging issues that will dominate the analysis of transport networks for years to come... Researchers, policy analysts, and policy-makers alike will find it a valuable reference and a forward-thinking contribution for future research in the field of transport policy analysis and regional network integration.'
