Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-speed Rail Cities and Regions: Evaluating the Varying Experiences of HSR Systems Worldwide

This edited volume explores the diverse outcomes that high-speed rail (HSR) systems have brought about to different station-cities and their surrounding regions across the globe, with a focus on improving future planning and policy for such systems. Drawing from examples of HSR operations in various cities in Europe and Asia, the book aims to portray the various impacts of this significant transportation infrastructure. It endeavors to distinguish between short-term and long-term effects, categorizing them into regional, inter-urban, urban, and broader economic impacts.

Planning challenges arise at two critical stages: during the initial planning phase, which involves determining the route and location of stations, and during the subsequent development process. The case studies presented in the book delve into a range of topics, including the impact of HSR on population growth in certain station-cities, the regional economic benefits that an HSR system can bring to the larger territories it traverses, the potential of station-cities to attract firms, experience increases in tourism, and commerce. Additionally, the chapters assess planning strategies and experiences from station-cities to draw valuable lessons for future HSR planning policies.

The Chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of European Planning Studies.
