Themed Issue Call for Papers:
Transport and global poverty
.
Dear Colleague,
Transport is planning a themed issue for 2015 on transport and global poverty.
Strong transport links can facilitate international trade transitions which can boost national income and reduce poverty. Urban areas have the potential to be centres of growth in low-income countries but insufficient transport connectivity is a barrier to this.
Lack of transport infrastructure makes accessing markets and basic services difficult or impossible in both rural and urban environments and prevents poor people accessing social and economic opportunity. The role of transport infrastructure in the global challenge of poverty eradication is essential.
For this themed issue of Transport, authors are invited to submit papers on the planning, design, procurement, construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure and transport services that relate to rural and urban poverty in the UK and overseas.
If you would like to contribute to this themed issue, please submit<mailto:[log in to unmask]> a brief (<200 word) summary of your proposed paper by 10th April 2015.
