• Abstract:
  The efficacy of a high-speed rail system depends, in part, upon locating rail stations close to urban centers and integrating them into broader transportation networks and the urban realm. In addition, through economies of agglomeration, successful high-speed rail systems can bring wider economic benefits to regions, cities and local areas. Transit-oriented development can be used as a strategy to realize and capture these local-level benefits by connecting the high-speed rail system with urban development. This research focuses on evaluating the relationships between high-speed rail development, local rail station development and land development.
