This map shows the relative change in accessibility potential by road, rail and air in the BSR from 2001-2014. Accessibility potential is defined as a function of the activities or opportunities to be reached at the destinations (here: population), weighted by the car, rail and air travel times needed to reach them. Despite the well-known core-periphery gradients, infrastructure investments during the past decade have still favoured certain non-peripheral regions and have not fundamentally changed the overall core-periphery pattern in Europe. With respect to road, regions in western Poland and in Norway and Sweden have benefitted most. The Nordic countries have improved their relative position with respect to rail, while, for air, regions in Southern Poland, in the Baltic States and Iceland gained most of the positive effects.
