Transport Infrastructure and the Decentralization of Cities in the People's Republic of China

It is widely believed that transport infrastructure has important impacts on the development of cities. Until recently, however, there has been little systematic evidence with which to evaluate claims about the effects of transport infrastructure on the development of cities and regions. In this pap...
