Capacity to Grow: Transport Infrastructure Needs for Future Trade Growth

Itf

No 19, International Transport Forum Policy Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This report examines the consequences of increased global trade on the world’s transport infrastructure. More complex international freight flows as a result of diversified global trade patterns will change capacity requirements and increasingly reshape global transport networks over the coming decades. Policy makers need to understand now how these forces are likely to play out in order to ensure adequate and timely investment into transport infrastructure that will continue to provide the backbone of global trade and economic development.
