This volume presents a review of transport provision and the development process in the Third World. It provides a survey of the range of transport modes and forms utilised in rural, urban and international contexts, and examines the development implications of such choices.

Recenzje

'Exceptionally well-written, presented in a logical and concise fashion and true to its mission of exploring the transport development nexus. I recommend this book highly as an important contribution to our understanding of transport's importance to the past, prsent and future developemnt of non-western countries. - Progress in Human Geography
