Transport Infrastructure Policies

This chapter investigates the link between transport infrastructure policy within EU regional policy, non-spatial EU transport policy (‘EU transport policy proper’) and national transport infrastructure policy. Section 8.1 reviews theoretical considerations on the link between transport infrastructure and economic performance, followed by quantitative assessments of infrastructure endowment differences in EU regions. Section 8.3 investigates the national and regional distribution of member states’ transport infrastructure investments and Section 8.4 focuses on the different elements of EU Transport Policy.
