Research on Planning and Performance Appraisal of Mass Rail Transportation in Metropolitan Area Guided by Urban-Rural Integration - Taking Xi'an as an Example

Abstract:

The urban-rural integration is an effective way to eliminate the urban-rural dual structure, and narrow the gaps between urban and rural areas. Planning and construction of rail transportation should be emphasized in order to promote the process of urbanization in metropolitan areas and meet or guide the demands of free flow of urban and rural elements. Based on the analysis of rail transportation which is an important driving force of urban-rural integration development of metropolitan areas in details, the article discusses mass rail transportation planning and construction in metropolitan area choosing Xi'an metropolis as an example, and evaluates the rail transportation implementation performance oriented by the urban-rural integration, aiming to better guide planning and implementation of rail transportation in urban and rural areas, as well as to provide references for other regions in China.
