Abstract: This paper analyses the high-speed train from a spatial point of view. The basic characteristics of this transportation mode,the evolution of high-speed networks in several countries and the building of a trans-European high-speed railway network are studied.The paper analyses also the process of space-time convergence and its consequences on competitivity and cohesion;the tunel effect;the impact of the high speed-train on transportation demand;and the impacts on the city.

Keywords: High-speed train; trans-European networks; space-time convergence; tunel effect; demand of transport; impacts on the city (search for similar items in EconPapers)
