Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-speed Rail
Cities and Regions evaluates the varied experiences that HSR
systems have brought about to different station-cities and their
regional territories around the world, with an eye towards better
future planning and policy of such systems. This edited volume
draws from examples of high-speed rail operations in different
cities in Europe and Asia to depict the various impacts of this
major transportation infrastructure. It attempts to distinguish the
short- and long-term impacts described in the literature,
classifying them into regional and inter-urban effects, urban
effects, and wider economic impacts. Planning challenges appear at
two major points: 1) during the initial planning stage that
includes the route and location of stations; and 2) during the
development process that follows. The case studies in the book
concentrate on a variety of topics from the impact of high-speed
rail on population growth in some station-cities, to the regional
economic impacts that an HSR system can bring about to the larger
territories it passes through, to the potential of station-cities
to better attract firms, or to experience increases in tourism and
commerce. They also assess planning strategies and experiences from
station-cities to draw lessons for future HSR planning policies.
The Chapters in this book were originally published in a special
issue of European Planning Studies.
