THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS IN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTE REGION IN PORTUGAL AND THE MASOVIAN VOIVODSHIP IN POLAND

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper was to compare the directions of investments in communication and transport infrastructure of the Norte Region in Portugal and the Masovian Voivodship in Poland. When analyzing the saturation of the infrastructure, particular attention has been paid to the investment aspect, since this factor has a major impact on the development of these regions. The conducted research has shown significant differences in the investment process itself. The Masovian Voivodship strongly diversifies the transport infrastructure investments on various modes of transport. In turn, in the Norte region one can observe a strong transport orientation geared towards an extensive network of expressways and a large access to local airports. The location of transport investments so understood in particular modes of transport is related to the different conditions of location of both regions.
