Abstract
Transport infrastructures such as roads and railways fragment space into distinct zones, with the boundaries defined by physical barriers (walls, fences, noise screens, guardrails) and/or by the risks and nuisances of traffic (speed, noise, pollution, dust). This chapter argues that these are not only physical boundaries but also psychological and social boundaries for humans, ecological boundaries for animals and natural elements, and land use boundaries in cities and countryside. We ground our arguments on evidence from specific infrastructures in several countries, drawing from previous academic literature and newspaper articles.
