This note focuses on the economic
evaluation of more conventional infrastructure investments,
and specifically on two types of projects which may result
in significant economic restructuring - relocation of
economic activities, generation of new activities, or
changes in the way that current activities are undertaken.
The two examples used: new urban rail lines and major new
barrier crossings serve simply as examples of a much wider
issue. The issue is that whenever projects bring about a
large step change in transport costs, there is a stimulus
for a reorganization of economic activity outside the
transport sector.
