Abstract
The impacts of network infrastructure are usually studied for spatial units such as cities or regions. Cities can be conceived as nodes in a network, the development of which is influenced by the quality of links (roads, railways, canals) and of transport nodes (airports, seaports). Thus, one can study the effect of changes in transport links (e.g. high speed rail) on the relative position of cities (Bruinsma and Rietveld, 1993).
