This work discusses the relationship between efficiency and equity in transport, providing a series of contributions that reveal the importance and influence of accessibility on urban growth, access to services, the price of housing, and modal choice and transport policies.
Accessibility models not only explain the development of territorial and transport planning in both developed and developing countries, but are also tools that explain the impacts of urban and transport projects and policies on equity and efficiency.
In this book, leading researchers from around the world show the importance of accessibility in Europe, with current events such as rural depopulation, investment in public services and transport and transport infrastructures.
Chapter 7 has been written entirely by Andrés Monzón and Emilio Ortega: Influence of the first and last mile on HSR accessibilty levels.
