Global Transportation Megaregion/Megaproject Best Practices Manual

This proposed 15-month research project will build on prior research in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe to produce a “transportation mega-region/mega-project best practices manual” aimed at regional and metropolitan transportation planners and decision-makers primarily in the U.S. The proposed manual will include a series of 10-12 recent roadway, rail, airport, and seaport megaproject case studies from around the world including, where relevant, the U.S. Rather than taking a critical or analytical perspective, the proposed volume will be oriented around identifying a series of robust case studies and best practices that can be applied in multiple contexts and situations.
