Reflections on Promoting Urban Rail Transit Sustainable Development in New Era
Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective URT (urban rail transit) development in China is at the 'crossroad', requiring both seeking good strategies for gradually alleviating the financial pressure on the existing city construction and operation and facilitating effective support of URT providing for urban development. Hence, it is urgent to actively explore the effective path of URT high-quality and sustainable development in the new era. Method Five prominent problems in URT development are introduced, including the difficulty of land dividends feeding back into rail transit construction, and the failing of 'rail transit + comprehensive development' to meet expectations. Two major changes that promote URT development in the new era are analyzed. Five suggestions for promoting URT high-quality and sustainable development are put forward. Result & Conclusion URT is the public transportation development direction for modern large cities, and plays an important role in optimizing urban spatial layout and driving industrial upgrading. With the situation of promoting steady economic recovery and high-quality development, the construction of transportation infrastructure should be accelerated, and the investment in URT construction should be appropriately advanced, calling for a move onto a more sustainable development path through mode transformation and structure adjustment.
