High Speed Rail's (HSR) main objective is to attract air passengers between big metropolitan areas however the main
territorial implications in many cases occur not in these metropolitan areas but in the intermediate cities. These
implications open up new spatial planning possibilities such as decentralization, new regional centres and urban renewal
projects..
This book presents the experience of 20 years of HSR in Spain including some explicit information, arguments and
conclusions derived from HSR in other European Countries. It debates the HSR territorial implications at three scales:
national, regional and local, thus being of interest for strategic debates at those scales, such as the decision of new
national lines, the pros and cons of deviating the line to reach minor intermediate cities or the selection of precise
locations for new stations and the development projects in their surroundings.
Comparisons with the recent changes in accessibility, spatial distribution of population and activities, are made with
mobility for working purposes and with the characteristics of the HSR passengers. This book also examines the actions,
strategies and urban projects that medium size cities can use to make best use of HSR opportunities, synthesising the
experience of HSR medium cities in Spain and Europe. The book's conclusions will be of interest, over and above
scholars, to transport infrastructure decision makers, city and regional planners and managers, and transport companies.
