The territorial impact of high-speed rail on urban land . . . We find: (1) at regional level, short distance HSR corridors are playing a pivotal role in metropolitan formation and regional cohesion; (2) at city level, there is a substantial possibility that HSR causes urban expansion and polycentricity; (3) at station-area level, HSR may threaten micro-level spatial cohesion
Why California won’t give up the dream of high-speed rail We have heard the stories and seen the headlines over and over: “Trump Administration to Pull $4 Billion in Funding for California High-Speed Rail,” “California’s high-speed rail project
Impact of high-speed rail systems on urban development The introduction of high-speed rail (HSR) systems has far-reaching social and environmental consequences While HSR enhances connectivity and promotes sustainable mobility, it also raises challenges related to urban displacement and equitable development
Impacts of high-speed rails on urban networks and regional . . . We use two indicators (overall connectivity and weighted centrality) to examine the impacts of HSR connection on spatial redistribution, and we adopt a difference-in-differences (DID) analysis to investigate the effects of HSR on local economic development
Does High-Speed Rail Stimulate Urban Land Growth? Experience It is a generally accepted principle in urban economics and urban geography that a city’s access to external resources is constrained by the extent and speed of regional transportation infrastructure HSR can substantially shorten intercity travel times and reduce travel expenses, facilitating changes
New Rail Hubs along High-Speed Rail Corridor in California: High-speed rail (HSR) will link California's first-tier cities to one another and to second-tier cities; this innovation may increase both mobility and accessibility in an unprecedented way The system is also expected to have important physical impacts on station-adjacent neighborhoods and station cities, but to date, limited research exists
