‘The title says it all. Telecommunications, Transportation and Location delivers insight on the interrelationships between the technologies of communication and mobility and the changing spatial dimensions of society. . . Telecommunications, Transportation and Location offers a very interesting presentation. Copious references and discussion of alternative perspectives permit readers to follow up on arguments. Selective uses of cross-national comparisons helps to highlight the tangible implications of different policy strategies. The authors live up to their promise of sharing insights into complex issues in an accessible language – a significant achievement that benefits and encourages essential interactions among academic, business, and public policy communities.’
– Donald G. Janelle, Journal of Regional Science
