Abstract

Transport represents the circulatory system of the economy and without it economic activity would atrophy. An efficient, effective transport infrastructure is therefore an essential factor in a nation’s competitiveness. Alongside these economic concerns, the development and configuration of transport infrastructure has vital social and political roles. Thus the configuration of transport networks (including road, rails, inland waterways and the location of ports and airports) helps shape economic activity and determines how and where we live and work. Given its strategic importance, the state has long maintained a major role in controlling, planning and financing transport networks.
