Description

This book comprehensively explores the design and use of railway systems through theoretical, spatial, economic, and regional lenses. Bridging disciplines such as geography, economics, and planning, it examines railway infrastructure's role in shaping regional development, urbanisation, and connectivity. Featuring interdisciplinary case studies from diverse global contexts, the book integrates historical perspectives with forward-looking analyses to address contemporary challenges in transport planning and policy. It serves as an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners seeking to understand the dynamic interplay between railways, spatial organisation, and economic growth.
