The European transport infrastructure system

.

Chapter 2 in Integrating Europe’s Infrastructure Networks, 2021, pp 34-77 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter highlights the diverse forms of transportation infrastructure across Europe. It notes that despite the process of European integration, cross border traffic remains very much a minority source of transport flows across the EU. The chapter identifies that inter-state transport infrastructure integration has been a long standing theme within Europe but that the launch of the TEN-T programme sought to formalise these informal processes of integration within a single programme. To date, TEN-T has been of limited success and has been downscaled as a strategic priority for the EU. However infrastructural integration based on inter-state co-operation remains an on-going theme especially within the context of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
