Our estimates show a positive effect of the metro Available online: October 6, 2015 on sale values of both residential and commercial properties, although the effect is stronger for commercial properties. The models also reveal that the effect of the metro on the value of dwellings and commercial properties is largest within 701 to 900 meters of a metro station and is about 13 percent and 76 percent, respectively. 1 Introduction A large number of researchers have examined the effect of rail systems on property values and the range of estimates varies substantially across studies (Mohammad et al. 2013). The majority of studies sug- gests that proximity to rail stations enhances property values (e.g., Laakso 1992; Pan and Zhang 2008; Voith 1991; Weinberger 2001), some indicate a negative impact at certain locations mainly due to negative environmental externalities (e.g., Bolling, Ihlanfeldt, and Bowes 1998; Cervero 2003; Du and Mulley 2006), and a few show no noticeable effect (Gatzlaff and Smith 1993).

In a city dominated by the car but projecting heavy population growth, the metro has been designed to provide unparalleled levels of customer comfort and finishing, together with the frequency, punctuality and coverage to meet the emirate’s future strategic needs and ambitions. This paper provides an overview of the £4·8 billion project, with particular emphasis on the heavy civil engineering solutions delivered within a highly stylised and exacting architectural context, from an outline plan in 2002 to a fully operational reality in 2011.
