ABSTRACT High-speed rail (HSR) has been gaining acceptance worldwide with development of rail technology and rising concerns over climate change and congestion in airports and on roads. The implementation of high-speed rail lines also plays an important role in reshaping the travel patterns and activities of people and consequently change the ways cities develop. An interesting indirect implication of HSR is the potential for megalopolis formation created by fusion of multiple cities linked by HSR. An overall consensus is present in the existing theoretical literature as to what development impacts may be from the HSR investment, including the importance of the resulting agglomeration externalities and formation of megalopolises.

  • TEN-T Progress Report 2010
    Progress Report 2010 TEN-T Trans-European Transport Network Implementation of the Priority Projects June 2010 TEN-T Priority Projects – Progress Report 2010 Information contained in this report summarises the current state of play regarding the develop- ment of the Priority Projects, including the sources of financing. It was assembled with the data provided by the Member States by using the online iReport module of the TENtec Information System of the Directorate General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE). Each Member State provided information for the sections of the Priority Projects located on its territory, whereas the cross-border sections were reported on jointly by the countries involved. In addition, the European Investment Bank provided information on the loans given to Priority Projects and the European Commission added the figures reflecting the grant allocation to individual sections. This information was subse- quently revised and, in some cases, altered by the Member States. Despite the attention given to the quality and reliability of the data, some figures, especially on the sources of financing, may be missing. It should also be noted that the data for the program- ming period 2007-2013 and beyond reflects intentions and plans of the Member States. In particu- lar, estimates of investment on TEN-T Priority Projects from Cohesion Policy funds are at this stage indicative. Information received may therefore naturally evolve in the future. The completeness of the information gathered in the tables will be gradually improved in the future through an ongoing cooperation with Member States’ authorities. The report includes statistical information on 30 TEN-T Priority Projects, including the new integrated PP15 (Galileo) and PP21 (Motorways of the Sea).
