Theoretical models of time-space: the role of transport networks in the shrinking and shrivelling of geographical space

Alain L'Hostis

Résumé

Understanding distances between places is a fundamental task for the geographer, while the representation of distances constitutes one of the major functions of cartography. This is why time-distance representation constitutes a key tool for the contemporary geographer. The purpose of this chapter is, in a first step, to expose a set of solutions to the cartographical representations of distances as transformed by transport means. In a second step we will discuss the relations between these cartographical solutions and the theoretical geographical discourse on time-space structured around classical theoretical models.
