"The notion of urban mobility has virtually dominated European transport planning practice and research. This book explores the antipodes of such concept and critically presents to its readers the notion of rural accessibility. What this book begins to show is central for European spatial cohesion policy and, I dare to say, perhaps even for the long-term social and economic viability of the European project." - António Ferreira, Principal Researcher at CITTA: Centre for Research on Territory, Transports and Environment, University of Porto, Portugal "This publication provides nuanced insights into the contexts and conditions of rural accessibility in Europe. The interdisciplinary perspectives offered by the authors lead to balanced views and contribute to more equitable and efficient policymaking. The cases and experiences provided are especially relevant for readers in both practice and academia." - Wendy Tan, Senior lecturer, Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning, Environmental Sciences Group, Wageningen University, The Netherlands; Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Science, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway
