Inhaltsangabe

The WEB of Transport Corridors in South Asia develops a holistic appraisal methodology to ensure that economic benefits of investments in transport corridors are amplified and more widely spread and possible negative impacts such as congestion, environmental degradation, and other unintended consequences are minimized. It focuses on South Asia ― not only as one of the world's most populous and poorest regions ― but as a hinge between East Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

The book is aimed at politicians, technocrats, civil society organizations, and businesses. It presents case studies of past and recent corridor initiatives, provides rigorous analysis of the literature on the spatial impact of corridors, and offers assessments of corridor investment projects supported by international development organizations. A series of spotlights examines such issues as private sector co-investment, the impacts of corridors on small enterprises and women, and issues with implementing cross-border corridors.
