“…Many actors were involved in the decision-making process; therefore, some factors, such as the location, were not decided by planners, and partly for that reason TOD planning principles were not followed [106]. Furthermore, there were factors, such as seamless interchanges, which were highlighted in the plans but hindered in practical implementation by the complexity of the institutions and the fragmentation of land ownership [107]. The divergence between factors in the plans and TOD standards caused the development of HSR station areas to change from the TOD as advertised to the TAD as practiced.…”

“…Each city expects the HSR station area to demonstrate a sense of modernity and prosperity. Local governments and planners, especially of small, medium, and large cities, believe that the increased accessibility created by the HSR will generate development opportunities for their cities [107]. Surprisingly, regardless of local conditions in the cities, the economic development plans for HSR station areas were all designed to attract international company headquarters, financial companies, and high-tech industries, along with large convention and exhibition centers, trade centers, and theme parks.…”

With rapid high-speed railway (HSR) developments in China, HSR-based transit-oriented development (TOD) has proliferated across the country. Although local governments claim that HSR station areas are planned according to TOD principles, some scholars argue that these station areas actually contribute to unsustainable development. This study investigates two main questions: (1) what success factors should be included in a TOD plan for HSR station areas? (2) to what extent are these factors considered in the plans of Chinese HSR station areas? To answer these questions, we use content analysis to compare spatial plans for 15 HSR station areas across China, triangulating the findings via in-depth interviews and field investigations. This study reveals that most of the factors in the plans for HSR station areas deviate from TOD principles, especially in small- and medium-sized cities. We find that Chinese local governments mainly use TODs as a tool to promote suburban expansion around HSR stations.

“…In understanding UDPs as vehicles of governance, the institutionalist lens thus implies that projects cannot be properly understood if one only focuses on the actors and their interaction, i.e., the 'visible game' (Buitelaar, 2019), 'governance episode' (Healey, 2019), or 'action arena' (Ostrom, 2005) -the level that this research refers to as the 'governance situation'. Planning studies have been applying the IAD framework to explain how these arenas are shaped through institutions (see e.g., Van den Hurk, et al, 2014;Van Karnenbeek & Janssen-Jansen, 2018;Wang et al 2022).…”

This dissertation develops an understanding towards governing social sustainability goals into area-based urban development projects. It draws on Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach to construct a capability-centered evaluation of how institutionalized governance processes around these projects ultimately affect people’s freedoms to do the things they value in their urban living environment. Presenting case studies from the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria, the approach adopted in this dissertation reveals the unique ways in which different individuals interpret urban social sustainability and convert spatial resources into personal capabilities. The research uncovers the governance elements and institutional conditions around urban development projects that enable or constrain resource-to-capability conversions. It shows that governing social sustainability goals into urban development projects is a balancing act between reflexive governance action on the one hand, and an institutionalization of principles, actor responsibilities, and funding provision on the other hand. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that, to steer towards urban social sustainability, urban development practices can be improved by adopting an approach that is not merely focused on spatial improvements, but takes the equal expansion of human capabilities as its point of departure.

“…Sadhukhan et al [36] pointed out that rail transit transfer efficiency of different groups of passengers would be affected by their travel purpose and monthly household income. Zhang et al [37] established a comprehensive evaluation model of transfer efficiency based on the IEM-Vague. Matsiuk et al [38] constructed a discrete-event simulation model of the organization of transfer trains.…”

Simulation-Based Optimization of Transport Efficiency of an Urban Rail Transit Network

et al. 2023

It has been proven that developing urban rail transit (URT) is the key to solving the traffic problems in big cities, and transport efficiency is essential for scientific line planning and construction, operation management and sustainable development of urban rail transit. This paper focuses on the transport efficiency of the URT network and adopts shadow efficiency theory creatively to combine factors of passengers, capacity, and efficiency effectively. A quantitative calculation method of system utility based on “double time penalty” is proposed. According to the characteristics of Beijing URT, this paper puts forward a single optimization strategy and combinatorial optimization strategy and analyzes the results with DEA. The simulation of Beijing subway network proves the availability of the method and its optimization effects.
