Is high-speed rail socially exclusive? An evidence-based worldwide analysis

Frederic Dobruszkes et al.

Summary: The study revealed that high-speed rail passengers are mainly male, higher income, highly educated, and belong to higher social-occupational groups. Social inequalities, especially in terms of income, occupation, and education, play a significant role in shaping the uneven use of high-speed rail.

How does high-speed rail construction affect air pollutant emissions? Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration in China

Feng Wang et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of high-speed rail construction on air pollutant emissions using a quasi-natural experiment approach. The findings reveal both positive and negative effects of high-speed rail construction on air pollutant emissions, with reductions in industrial sulfur dioxide emissions but increases in industrial smoke and dust emissions, particularly in economically prosperous areas. The study highlights the importance of considering the full life cycle of high-speed rail in controlling air pollution emissions.

The impacts of high-speed rail on the transformation of resource-based cities in China: A market segmentation perspective

Fei Xu et al.

Summary: The opening of high-speed rail has significantly promoted the industrial transformation of resource-based cities, especially in transitioning from mining to the tertiary industry. Central regions and mature resource-based cities are the most susceptible to this influence, and mechanisms such as promoting individual employment and attracting foreign investment can accelerate industrial transformation.

Impact of high-speed rail on road traffic and greenhouse gas emissions

Yatang Lin et al.

Summary: The study shows that the construction of new high-speed rail routes in China has a significant impact on reducing road traffic and carbon emissions, primarily through substitution effects. The environmental benefits mainly come from replacing highway goods transport with conventional railways, and it is projected that under greener electricity conditions, high-speed rail in China can contribute even more to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector.

Agglomerating or dispersing? Spatial effects of high-speed trains on regional tourism economies

Bo Zhou et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of high-speed train services on the spatial structure of regional tourism economies in China, finding that tourism economies tend to agglomerate from cities outside the HST network to those inside, and start to disperse among cities within the network as more HST services become available. The results reveal the spatial heterogeneity of HST impacts.

Stakeholder views about Land Use and Transport Integration in a rapidly-growing megacity: Social outcomes and integrated planning issues in Seoul

Juhyun Lee et al.

Summary: Through a case study of Seoul, it was found that achieving compact urban form around transport nodes does not guarantee increased accessibility or livelihood opportunities. Ensuring the sustainability of social outcomes from land use and transport integration requires balancing restrictions and incentives, maintaining local environmental quality, applying flexible rules, and conducting multi-level planning.

High-speed rail, firm agglomeration, and PM2.5: Evidence from China

Zheng Chang et al.

Summary: The study found that the construction of high-speed rail has a significant impact on local air quality in China, with a decrease in PM2.5 concentration after being connected to the HSR network. Industrial activities, as the main source of pollution, are affected by HSR connectivity, leading to a change in PM2.5 concentrations. Additionally, the migration of polluting firms induced by HSR connections contributes to the decline in PM2.5 concentrations, highlighting the importance of firm response to HSR in understanding air pollution distribution in China.

Has high-speed railway promoted spatial equity at different levels? A case study of inland mountainous area of China

Yan Huang et al.

Summary: The study examines the impact of HSR on spatial equity in inland mountainous areas, finding positive effects at the national level but negative impacts on territorial cohesion and increased polarization at the regional level. Different measures should be coordinated at different planning levels to reduce the risks of spatial inequity caused by HSR construction.
