Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-Speed Rail Cities and Regions

<p><em>Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-speed Rail Cities and Regions</em> 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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>The Chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of <i>European Planning Studies.</i></p> <p>Introduction: Spatial short and long-term implications and planning challenges of high-speed rail: A literature review framework</p><p>Chia-Lin Chen, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, José M. de Ureña and Roger Vickerman</p><p>1.
