"High-Speed Rail + City" Model in China Needs to be Adjusted
ANBOUND
In
view of the model of 'high-speed rail + city', many railway stations in China
are located around kilometers and even far away from city centers. Open-up
space is required for the construction of high-speed railway in new urban
areas, in essence, which is property development. The basic function on
providing convenience to transportation will be weakened. Along with the cycle of
macroeconomic development and the process of urbanization slowing down, the amount
of local debts began to be constrained. Companies will invest less in urban
construction, while the urban demand for service facilities are going up. Such being
the cases, Anbound researchers believe the 'high-speed rail + city' model might
fall in difficulty and with debts in China. It is urgent to be adjusted.
