Environmental Kuznets Curve and the road transport

Economy and transport are in fact identical. A natural human tendency to change, which itself is one of the factors of increasing wealth, led towards the making of waterways and merchant paths in the Middle Ages. Within the period of the Industrial Revolution, the transport system was developed further thanks to the railway and together with road and aviation transport, it has reached its current form with all its positive and negative features. Simultaneously, except for the basic relationship of economy and transport, the problems of new technologies are mentioned more and more often as well as their impact on the environment and energy questions. Some answers you can find in this book.
