The Urban Rail Development Handbook

This handbook synthesizes and disseminates knowledge to inform the planning, implementation, and operations of urban rail projects with a view
toward:

• Emphasizing the need for early studies and project planning
• Making projects more sustainable (economically, socially, and environmentally)
• Improving socioeconomic returns and access to opportunities for users
• Maximizing the value of private participation, where appropriate
• Building capacity within the institutions that implement and manage public projects.
