No, that's not what I'm saying. I remember reading an article (I think posted on here) years ago which showed that if you have a prosperous area and a not so prosperous area - building a bigger road between the two actually mostly benefts the prosperous area.Originally Posted by xsnaggle
The example given was north Wales, where new roads had just hastened the flow of wealth to places like Liverpool and Chester.
England's road network is incredibly London Centric, and as a result London businesses soak up a lot of additional trade
Improving infrastructure without directing everything towards the existing bigger centres would actually help some areas more. A bit like the city region stuff I guess.
