"Assessing the impact of transport and energy infrastructure on poverty reduction is a major step toward filling the information and evidence gap. Beginning with thorough reviews of the existing literature and transport and energy projects worldwide, and using carefully designed research in three countries (Peoples Republic of china, India and Thailand), the study has gathered considerable data on the ways that investments in transport and energy have benefited poor people." -- From the Book.
