High Speed Rail's (HSR) main objective is to attract air passengers
between big metropolitan areas however the main territorial
implications in many cases occur not in these metropolitan areas
but in the intermediate cities. These implications open up new
spatial planning possibilities such as decentralization, new
regional centres and urban renewal projects. This book presents the
experience of 20 years of HSR in Spain including some explicit
information, arguments and conclusions derived from HSR in other
European Countries. It debates the HSR territorial implications at
three scales: national, regional and local, thus being of interest
for strategic debates at those scales, such as the decision of new
national lines, the pros and cons of deviating the line to reach
minor intermediate cities or the selection of precise locations for
new stations and the development projects in their surroundings.
Comparisons with the recent changes in accessibility, spatial
distribution of population and activities, are made with mobility
for working purposes and with the characteristics of the HSR
passengers. This book also examines the actions, strategies and
urban projects that medium size cities can use to make best use of
HSR opportunities, synthesising the experience of HSR medium cities
in Spain and Europe. The book's conclusions will be of interest,
over and above scholars, to transport infrastructure decision
makers, city and regional planners and managers, and transport
companies.
