Transport investment and regeneration. Sheffield: 1992–1997

Assessing the impacts of Light Rail Transit on urban land in Manila

“…Cervero (1984); Emerson (1990); Knight (1980) also identi ed the provision of public infrastructure and nancial incentives as important to attract and support development around stations. Without a positive intervention by authorities or stakeholders, Walmsley and Perret (1992) and Dabinett et al (1999) claimed that transport investments are o en necessary but not sufficient to generate development. Well-developed transport facilities alone cannot explain the agglomeration of economic activities due to the incapacity of transport facilities to provide users a utility per se (Bichsel 1999).…”

“…According to Dabinett et al (1999), mass transport can have a strong in uence on the location, intensity, and timing of new development, especially when supported by positive incentives and coordinated land use/transport planning. Greeneberg (1988) and Pill (1988) demonstrated the importance of the planning context.…”

Addressing transport barriers to work in low income neighbourhoods: A review of evidence and practice

“…One piece of work that did assess the immediate impact of a new transport link on the local labour market was the evaluation of the Sheffield Supertram (see Dabinett et al, 1999;Lawless and Gore, 1999). The three prongs of the network serve a number of low income neighbourhoods, particularly Netherthorpe/Upperthorpe and the Manor estate.…”

Generating opportunities for city sustainability through investments in light rail systems: Introduction to the Special Section on light rail and urban sustainability

“…Predominantly, light rail research includes evaluation of transport benefits (such as increased public transport usage and modal shift from cars (Knowles, 1996)), revealing that the most successful cities are able to deliver new light and/or heavy rail schemes as well as smaller schemes designed to eliminate road and rail bottlenecks. Research also analyses non-transport benefits -often referred to as wider economic impacts -which include land and property values, environmental benefits and urban regeneration (Dabinett et al, 1999;Hass-Klau et al, 2004;Knowles, 1992). Assessment of economic impacts has relied mainly on detailed Impact Studies that only consider immediate impacts of light rail, as with for example the Manchester Metrolink (Law et al, 1996) and Sheffield Supertram (Dabinett et al, 1999) (see Knowles and Ferbrache, 2014, for further details).…”

Research has also investigated the role of light rail in transitoriented development (TOD) and, to a lesser extent, in sustainable urban growth initiatives, including smart cities (e.g.…”
