At heart, transportation policy and research are about people: connecting individuals and the places they live, ensuring sufficient and equitable access, and facilitating movement. Whether at the regional, city, or neighborhood scale, the loss of population presents unique challenges where transport is concerned. It is not only about preservation of existing access, but possibly even a question of increased need for connectivity and mobility. Demographic changes that accompany depopulation--aging for example-- also impact existing systems, preferences, and needs.
Zielgruppe
<p>This book will fill an existing gap in the literature on transportation for areas that are losing population. The book will focus on population change, the built environment, and transport; the application of methods and models for regions at risk (of depopulation); and regional comparisons and case-studies.</p> <p>As such it will be of interest to both academics and policy makers in the field of spatial planning, geography, urban- and regional economics; transport and demography.</p>
