Insights into these behaviours can help public and private actors to cope with diversity, complexity and uncertainty in a dynamic urban environment. This book elaborates, both theoretically and empirically, the functional and governance/management perspective of urban infrastructures. It comprises theoretical contributions related to accessibility, land-use modelling and urban governance, while case studies from Antwerp, Geneva, Milan, Oslo, Turin and Zurich effectively analyze the problems associated with mobility, infrastructure, finance, planning, transformation and governance. It will be of considerable value to anyone with an interest in urban performance."--Provided by publisher Notes Originally published 2002 by Ashgate Publishing Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Cities and towns -- Europe Infrastructure (Economics) -- Europe Municipal government -- Europe BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Industries -- General.
