The Light Rail and Streetcar Revolutions (report)
The Light Rail and Streetcar Revolutions refer to a recent resurgence in urban transit development, emphasizing modern, efficient, and eco-friendly transportation options. These systems, which run on rails within cities, are designed to reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, and improve access to transit. They often serve mixed-use neighborhoods and are easier and quicker to build than traditional heavy rail, making them attractive for revitalizing city cores and encouraging sustainable growth. The report discusses how many cities worldwide are adopting these systems to improve mobility, boost economic development, and create more livable urban environments.
