内容説明

Fundamental changes are taking place in Europe - involving demography, economics, technology and lifestyles. Barriers are coming down and the EC 12 are likely to increase in number, making Europe the largest free-trade area in the world. Transport will have a key role in achieving greater unification in Europe. This book takes a Europe-wide perspective in presenting transport by the different modes of travel. This contextual part is then balanced with extensive reviews of the policy issues and challenges facing decision-makers - these include missing transport networks, the issue of sustainability, peripheral countries, regulatory reforms, links with Central and East European countries, finance and investment. Finally, a comparison is made with the USA. The book brings together 22 authors from 16 different countries, and this combination of international authors gives an authoritative overview of transport. It provides a view of the main transport issues in Europe and analyzes the main challenges facing decision-makers at all levels.
