Abstract

Transport infrastructure systems and the development of these over time is the focus of this book, here with canals as the study-object. The canal studied is the Swedish Göta kanal project during the preparation and construction phase from 1800 to 1832. Comparisons are made with two contemporary major canal projects: the Erie Canal in the US (1817–1825) and the Caledonian Canal in Britain (1804–1822). The analysis in this book is framed in an institutional evolutionary theoretical view, as presented in my 2018 book Transport Infrastructure in Time, Scope and Scale. Thus, the Göta kanal project, and the canal era, is seen from a technological, an economic and a political perspective. In this chapter, different perspectives on transport infrastructure, and more specifically canals are presented.
