Railway Development: Impacts on Urban Dynamics


Add your own review!

Overview

The role of railways in urban development is the subject of this book. The central aim is to inquire into how especially the development of high-speed rail and light rail links will affect European cities. The analyses are carried out with special attention given to the broader institutional environment of the railway system, including the shift toward privatised railway companies and internationalisation.

Reviews

From the reviews: The book edited by Bruinsma and his colleagues address the issues of modern rail development (in this air and auto age) and put much on the table for analysts and policymakers ! . strong value of this book--for both transport planners and policy scientists--is the collective wisdom from the perspectives shown in the case study chapters. ! One strength of the book ! will be looked at by policymakers as well as academics--is the depth and thought of the case studies. (Robert E. Paaswell, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 49 (2), 2009)
