Reasonable analysis on spatial distribution of transportation infrastructure and allocation of transportation investment in China

From the perspective of manufacturing location choice, this paper analyzed the reasonableness of spatial distribution of transportation infrastructure and transportation investment allocation in China. The study found that there is too much unreasonableness in the spatial distribution of transportation infrastructure and allocation of transportation investment, and it has not been effectively improved which transportation infrastructures are excessively concentrated due to excessive concentration of transportation investment in eastern and central regions over the years. So China should focus on increasing transportation investment in the western region, and pay more attention to the development in the undeveloped regions by new lines to induce economic factors inflow and manufacturing sites located in those areas, and improve the endogenous economic development power of the undeveloped regions to reduce regional disparities.
