Transport infrastructure played a key role in redefining Finland’s economic geography. An empirical investigation involving new gis databases that combine data about railways, population, and administrative boundaries at the municipal level between 1870 and 2000 permits the identification of three main phases of railway expansion: The first phase was a concentration of railways around Helsinki; the second, the construction of a grid-based national railway network, which coincided with a spread of the population into rural areas; and the third, an expansion of the railway into local networks when Finland’s industry began to coalesce around metropolitan areas.

The contributions to this special issue share important themes and methodologies in their quest to explicate economic development and its effects. Nonetheless, each area under examination has its own peculiarities and warrants its own scope of analysis. The result is a special issue that pursues an innovative line of research, exploring parallels and contrasts in economic growth and inequality based on new data at the regional, rather than simply the national, level.

Transportion networks can have a profound influence on economic development and the distribution of population. A long-term comparative study of the influence that rail services exerted on urban growth reveals that the creation of a structured railway network in France, Portugal, and Spain intensified the depopulation of extensive rural areas, as more and more people moved to, and between, cities. Areas that were once relatively small and insignificant began to thrive when the railway reached them.

The articles in this special issue are unique in their use of historical geographical information systems ( hgis ) to explore a common theme—transport infrastructure and its effects on population distribution in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe. Collectively and individually, they demonstrate how to integrate spatial analysis into historical research and how to bring a historical dimension to geographical analyses.

Analysis of new regional socioeconomic and transport data in a gis format reveals that Bulgaria's most dramatic transformations occurred before World War I, corresponding to the construction of the national railway grid. Contrary to expectations, the massive socioeconomic developments that followed World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall did not affect the regional economic order of the state.
