| Résumé anglais |
In this paper we address the mutual relationship of transport network development and urban growth. This is done in the context of the railway system in the Netherlands in the nineteenth century. In order to analyze the impact of urban growth on network development, the network development in the Netherlands is simlulated using an algorithm based on the criterion of net returns on investment. Furthermore, the reverse relationship is investigated: the question addressed is to what extent the growth rates of cities in the Netherlands can be explained by factors such as the increase in accessibility by rail. The conclusion is that although the development of the railway network has had a significant impact on urban growth rates during several decades, its overall impact has been limited.
