Abstract

How well goods and people move within and between localities is both a cause and effect of prosperity. Internationally, economists, environmentalists and politicians have yet to find consensus on, and balance between, the extent to which free-flowing movement impels an economy, its external (true) cost to the public and the economic cost of the impeded flow. This schism is likely to widen as pressures intensify for developed nations to manage their environment in a more sustainable manner, while less-developed nations also build still more roads, own still more cars, and perhaps abandon public transport, as they catch up. The developed world of the future is likely to pay a heavy price, in terms of freedom of movement, as it takes responsibility for the consequences of privilege.
