Description
Description and analysis are combined in this account of how the British transport system penetrated the living space of the island and improved accessibility for its inhabitants. The book relates the historical development of canals, railways, roads, seaports, and airports to this theoretical model. The author emphasizes the constraints imposed on this development by the physical landscape of Britain and discusses the effects of private actions, public attitudes, and government planning on the actual shape of the transport system. Readership: students of geography and planning; those interested in planning contemporary transport systems.
