Sinopsis

This book is unique in addressing rural transport policy issues in a comprehensive and rigorous way. Much has been written in recent years about urban transport and policy, but in both transport research itself and in implemented transport policies we have seen rural transport needs take second place to urban issues.

The book sets out to define the key transport issues involved in a rural context and goes on to explore specific policies to deal with these issues.

Throughout, the book combines original research and specially conducted international surveys with an overview of the available literature, providing a valuable and uniquely thorough resource. Taking as its main focus the specific context of British rural transport issues, the work provides in-depth research which, while local in its starting-point, is international in its perspective and implications.

The aim of the book is not so much to provide answers to the various transport problems but to provide a foundation for the formulation of ideas.

Críticas

Glenda Jackson CBE MP
This book certainly addresses the most important aspects of the rural dimension of transport, and I am sure that it will make a significant contribution to the debate on rural transport policy.

Stephen Essex, University of Plymouth
Urban transport has dominated the research literature and the last major books on rural transport were written in the 1970s. This book therefore represents a long-awaited text, especially given the substantial changes in circumstances affecting rural transport during the 1980s and 1990s.... a useful introduction and reference source for undergraduates studying transport and rural issues...a valuable addition to a neglected area and will appeal to students of transport, geography and planning.
