Abstract

Die infrastrukturelle Anbindung von Städten oder Regionen innerhalb des gesamten Verkehrsnetzes eines Landes bestimmt nachhaltig, in welchem Maße diese am gesamtwirtschaftlichen Wachstum partizipieren können. Unzureichend vorhandene Verkehrsinfrastruktur führt zu Wohlfahrtseinbußen; Output und Produktivität der Wirtschaft werden entscheidend durch die Akkumulation von Infrastrukturkapital beeinflusst. Globalisierung und zunehmend überregionaler Wettbewerb stellen folglich nicht nur hohe Anforderungen an die Effektivität von Infrastrukturnetzen in Städten und Regionen, sondern insbesondere auch an deren Anbindungsqualität untereinander. Wie der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt, bestehen trotz der enormen Investitionen in die ostdeutsche Verkehrsinfrastruktur in den letzten 20 Jahren bezüglich verkehrlicher Anbindungsqualität weiterhin signifikante Unterschiede zu Westdeutschland.
