Light Rail Infrastructure (Second Edition)

Light Rail Infrastructure was originally written in 1997 as an academic exercise, exploring the construction economics aspects of light rail. At that time, Dublin had yet to build the highly successful Luas light rail system, and there was a considerable lack of understanding in certain quarters regarding the benefits of light rail. Although the original text is now several years old, the principles explored are all still valid, and additional new chapters bring the book up to date. Light Rail Infrastructure gives a valuable overview of the benefits of light rail, which should be of interest to professionals and laypersons with an interest in the development of modern, environmentally-friendly and sustainable transport infrastructures.
