Description
Impassable roads, poorly maintained railways, bankrupt airlines, congested cities, and inefficient ports - are there links between these issues and lack of economic progress in developing countries? Inland waterways, ports, railways, roads, air and urban transport are all discussed and illustrated with examples of good and bad practice. The author explains how transport can only be effective if timing, location and technology are chosen carefully and if decisions are in the hands of the right parties.

"...this book is an excellent read which covers a broad spectrum of topics. It is well written in clear English, informative, and should prove a valuable addition for students undertaking courses in Transport Economics, Development Economics and Basic Transport Engineering. The book highlights the importance of transport within the appropriate context, something which is not always apparent in the standard transport (economics) text.", Science, Technology and Development, Vol.16, August 1998
