HSR, Accessibility and Regional Economy in Japan Read more about HSR, Accessibility and Regional Economy in Japan This presentation illustrated the regional accessibility and economic impacts of high speed rail (HSR) development in Japan since its inception in 1964. Comparison of the case of Japanese HSR impacts were also made with that of European case presented in the main presentation of this webinar to highlight enlightening topics for discussion. In addition, Japan's plan of a new high speed rail technology namely MAGLEV was breifly presented and its likely impact on accessibilities was discussed.

High Speed Rail and Spatial Scenarios for Europe 2050 Read more about High Speed Rail and Spatial Scenarios for Europe 2050 This presentation illustrated the likely impacts of high-speed rail projects on spatial development in Europe based on the ESPON project ET2050 (Territorial Scenarios and Visions for Europe) conducted in 2011-2014. The objective of the ESPON project was to develop a vision of the spatial structure of Europe based on scientific evidence by a large team of researchers of different European countries.
ADBI-WCTRS Third Webinar on High Speed Rail (HSR): HSR and Spatial Scenarios for Europe 2050 Read more about ADBI-WCTRS Third Webinar on High Speed Rail (HSR): HSR and Spatial Scenarios for Europe 2050 This ADBI-World Conference of Transport Research Society (WCTRS) webinar featured Prof. Michael Wegener, Professor (retired) and former Director of the Institute of Spatial Planning, University of Dortmund, Germany. Prof. Wegener examined the impacts of high-speed rail (HSR) on spatial development in Europe by 2050, based on a project work by the European Spatial Planning Observation Network. He also illustrated the findings from the modeliing of HSR’s effects on economic growth, equality, and energy consumption. Prof.
Impacts of HSR on Land Use Read more about Impacts of HSR on Land Use This presentation highlights the key challanges in modelling of the Land Use and Transport Interactions of High Speed Rails and emphasizes the lack of spatial resolution and need for multi-layer models to understand the land use effect of HSR.
