Cities across the globe are looking to develop affordable,
environmentally friendly, and socially responsible transportation
solutions that can meet the accessibility needs of expanding
metropolitan populations and support future economic and urban
development. When appropriately planned and implemented as part of
a larger public transportation network, urban rail systems can
provide rapid and vital access to city centers from surrounding
districts. High-performing urban rail services can help enhance
quality of life by giving citizens access to employment
opportunities, essential services, urban amenities, and neighboring
communities. The Urban Rail Development Handbook synthesizes and
presents knowledge to inform the planning, implementation, and
operations of urban rail projects with a view towards: Emphasizing
the need for early studies and project planning Making projects
more sustainable (economically, socially, and environmentally)
Improving socioeconomic returns and access to opportunities for
users Maximizing the value of private participation, where
appropriate Building capacity within project-implementing and
-managing institutions. The Handbook provides experiential advice
to tackle the technical, institutional, and financial challenges
faced by decision makers considering urban rail projects. It
synthesizes international "good practices" and recommendations that
are independent of commercial, financial, political, or other
interests. Rather than identify a single approach, the Handbook
acknowledges the complexities and context necessary when
approaching an urban rail development by helping to prepare
decision makers to ask the right questions, consider the key
issues, perform the necessary studies, apply adequate tools, and
learn from international good practice all at the right time in the
project development process.
