“…Therefore, the governments of some service-oriented cities still pay more attention to the secondary industry development, and the manufacturing industry is still expanding while developing the tertiary industry. According to the study of Chang, Diao [ 4 ], HSR operation leads to the decentralization and agglomeration of manufacturing and service industries, respectively. It is also not conducive to improving the eco-environmental quality of service-oriented cities if the HSR connection leads to the agglomeration of service industries from manufacturing-oriented cities to service-oriented cities.…”

Ecological civilization construction is China’s national development strategy, and improving the urban eco-environmental quality is the key to accelerating this strategy, while the high-speed rail (HSR) opening is an important factor affecting the urban eco-environmental quality. Using panel data of 290 cities in China from 2004 to 2020, this study explores the impact of HSR opening on urban eco-environmental quality and its heterogeneity from the perspective of direct impact and interaction between HSR connected cities. Compared with cities without HSR service, the eco-environmental quality of cities with HSR service has significantly increased by 0.023 standard deviations, which is about 4.11% of the total change in urban eco-environmental quality in the same period. Second, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between eco-environmental quality and urban space expansion. Third, the impact of HSR on eco-environmental quality is heterogeneous, mainly manifested in different cities and urban agglomerations. It means that the government should focus on the differences in the economic foundation and development characteristics of various regions, steadily push forward the construction and operation of the HSR, and speed up the renovation of existing lines to help the green development of cities. The research results provide a policy basis for the government to handle the relationship between infrastructure construction and eco-environmental quality, and effectively promote green sustainable development.

“…The correlation between HSR services and the evolution of the high-tech industry in China was studied by Xiao and Lin [32], showing that the impact was significant, especially in cities. Chang et al [33] studied the impact of the extension of the HSR network on industrial movement patterns in China's Greater Bay Area, showing that the expansion of the network led to a decentralisation of large industries. Zhang et al [34] studied the impact of HSR on consumption in China.…”

This paper evaluates the impact of high-speed rail systems on tourist attractiveness in Italy. The analysis is carried out with reference to provincial capitals, only some of which are served by high-speed railway lines. To achieve this objective, two multiple linear regression models were specified and calibrated, which relate arrivals and presences in accommodation facilities to several factors that could influence the tourist destination: cultural, historical, and monumental heritage, commercial activities, recreational activities, accessibility, etc. Both models showed that the availability of high-speed railway services is an important factor in the choice of tourist destination, being, moreover, the only accessibility variable found to be significant; furthermore, the elasticity of tourist demand to this factor was significant too.

“…Therefore, the proportion of the secondary and tertiary industrial structure will increase due to HSR, which will transfer land from the agricultural sector to the non-agricultural sector and promote the urban expansion (Tan & Zhang, 2019). The service industry pays more attention to agglomeration benefits, so the agglomeration effect of HSR on the industry leads to an increase in the proportion of the service industry and a decrease in the proportion of the manufacturing industry (Chang et al, 2021). The manufacturing industry is more sensitive to cost (Chang et al, 2021).…”

As a new means of high-speed transportation, high-speed rail(HSR) has an important impact on the scale of urban land use in Chinese cities. Exploring the impact mechanism of HSR accessibility on urban expansion is of certain significance for urban land use planning and management in the era of HSR network development. This paper constructs a national HSR network, interprets multi-dimensional accessibility from the HSR network with the help of complex network methods, and uses the mediating effect model to explore the impact mechanism of HSR accessibility on urban expansion. The results show that (1) Closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, degree, weighted degree and the number of HSR frequency stopped all promote urban expansion by stimulating investment in real estate development, total retail sales of consumer goods, employment density and the proportion of added value of the tertiary industry, and inhibit urban expansion by restraining the proportion of added value of the secondary industry. (2) When the total retail sales of consumer goods is used as the mediating variable, the promoting effect of betweenness centrality, degree, weighted degree and the number of HSR frequency stopped on urban expansion is the strongest through this mediating variable. When the proportion of added value of the tertiary industry is used as the mediating variable, the promoting effect of betweenness centrality, degree and weighted degree on urban expansion through this mediating variable is the weakest.
