This book looks at the economics of the evolving interface between
the movement of people, goods and information (telecommunications).
It illustrates the increasing importance of information flows in
relation to how people move about, the ways that goods are
transported and on land-use patterns. The authors show how the
linkages involved are not static but vary as technology develops,
as social priorities shift, and as policymakers adjust
institutional structures. The situation is evolving but,
nevertheless, from a public policy and a narrower commercial,
business perspective, it is important to gain broad insights into
what is occurring and the ways that telecommunications,
transportation, and location interact. This is the focus of the
book. Telecommunications, Transportation and Location contains both
sytheses and interpretations of what others have found in regard to
these interactions as well as new work that extends earlier
findings. The material is presented in a rigorous yet accessible
manner to open it to a wide audience of practitioners concerned
with policy-making within various levels of government and within
private business. Researchers and academics teaching courses
including transportation planning, communications, regional
science, urban and regional planning, urban and regional economics
and transport economics will find much to engage them within this
book. It will also be very useful to logistics professionals, and
policymakers and practitioners involved in transportation planning.
