Abstract

This chapter addresses transport policies in the two countries. Transport is a crucial factor in spatial planning. At its simplest, the quality and speed of transport affects the area within which people can live their lives and obtain goods and services. In turn the shape and scale of settlements has a significant impact on the forms of transport that are used. In consequence changes in transport have paralleled changes in settlement structure, both being driven by improved technology and growth in the economy.
