Question

Contribution of science and technology to transport​

Answer 1

Answer:

Science and technology predominantly yield effective but sophisticated solutions. The use of these solutions in developing countries introduces a risk of increased dependence on the developed world. This risk should however be viewed against the advantages of accelerated social and economic development. Proper planning is clearly of the essence.

Science and technology provide a wide range of conceptual, methodological and implementation tools, including tools for eliminating prevailing gaps. Programmes are required to identify priorities, mobilize resources and proceed with action.
