Transport and Spatial Development

Transport and spatial development in transport geography refer to how transportation systems and infrastructure influence the arrangement and growth of urban and rural spaces. Essentially, it examines how roads, railways, airports, and public transit shape where people live, work, and interact. Effective transport networks can lead to economic growth, accessibility, and connectivity between regions, while poor transport options can limit opportunities and isolate areas. Understanding these dynamics helps planners create more efficient cities and improve quality of life by facilitating easier movement and fostering sustainable development.
