Tóm tắt

This note focuses on the economic evaluation of more conventional infrastructure investments, and specifically on two types of projects which may result in significant economic restructuring - relocation of economic activities, generation of new activities, or changes in the way that current activities are undertaken. The two examples used: new urban rail lines and major new barrier crossings serve simply as examples of a much wider issue. The issue is that whenever projects bring about a large step change in transport costs, there is a stimulus for a reorganization of economic activity outside the transport sector.
