Publisher's Synopsis
This book aims to fulfil the requirement for a work on transport policy based on geographical theory and focused on contemporary changes and issues. Using the "principles and practice" approach this should enable students to develop their own ideas on the basis of the material provided. Each chapter uses examples at different scales from a variety of environments such as urban/rural, national/regional/local/global, advanced/developing countries and capitalist/communist/3rd World. Considerable emphasis is placed on multimodal and intermodal questions.
