Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of Transport 2010, the government’s ten‐year plan for transport. It develops discussions held by members of the RGS‐IBG’s Transport Geography Research Group (TGRG) in September 2000. It is argued that the plan marks something of a return to previous policies designed to accommodate increasing mobility.

Abstract

This article critically reviews how the Scottish Executive's approach to transport has developed since devolution. Although there is much to commend, a number of concerns can be identified, including the possibility that a number of strategic infrastructure schemes appear to have been approved on political rather than on technical grounds. It is difficult to know whether the current set of transport infrastructure investment plans represents good value for public money. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
