“…Their results illustrate that a welldeveloped railway network decreases the tendency to move away from a given municipality, while better road accessibility tends to increase the likelihood of moving out of large cities, as it is easier to commute longer distances (Lai et al, 2022). Prignano et al (2023) proposed a methodology inspired by archaeological research and network science to shed light on the processes and forces that have moulded transport infrastructures into their current configuration. By using a mechanistic network model, the authors generate several synthetic transport networks with different parameters and compare the outputs against the empirical real-world passenger transport network in Spain.…”
