One aspect of the new economy is the transition to a networked society, characterized by a highly interconnected and complex system of networks that facilitate the movement of people, goods, and information. This includes an increasing reliance on telecommunications and information infrastructure within networked systems such as air transportation, electric power grids, and maritime transport. These networks possess both a spatial structure, existing in physical space, and an a-spatial dimension driven by information technology. They often function as components of larger, geographically integrated networks that operate at various spatial levels. Understanding these complexities is crucial for designing effective plans and policies aimed at optimizing the efficiency, performance, and safety of transportation, telecommunications, and other networked systems. Technological advances and economic forces that promote clustering to reduce transaction costs have resulted in more efficient network structures. However, the very characteristics that enhance efficiency also increase vulnerability; the removal of super-connected nodes, whether intentionally or through targeted attacks, can lead to significant disruptions within these networks.
