Areas of ExpertisePolicy and Planning

Transport has a major impact on the activities of a region, a city and its people.  As cities exist primarily to overcome the costs of distance, the spatial and economic structure of cities depends strongly on transport infrastructure.  Market Economics Ltd has specialist expertise in the fields of transportation research, policy and planning.  We can assist in identifying the impacts of transport development or activities by exploring the interrelationships between transport, the urban environment and the economy.
