Abstract
Professor FUNCK has had a long interest in the role of infrastructure in shaping the path of development for regions at different spatial scales. In this paper, we provide some empirical evaluation of the effects of a major change in the regulation of a transportation industry on the supporting spatial infrastructure in the United States. Contrary to many popular statements, the processes of change were evident before deregulation; while the deregulated system has moved at a more rapid pace, the network structure was evolving over the last several decades.
Support for this work was provided in part by a grant from the Ameritech Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory at the University of Illinois
