1 Regional Developments through High-Speed Rail Project Yuki TANAKA Director, Japan International Transport Institute

2 Users Benefits by High speed Rail Reduction of Travel Time Comfort Reliability 2

3 HSR as a Tool for Urban Development HSR proposals in California have been discussed as helping to shape urban development Focus high density development around stations commercial uses, housing, visitor services such as hotels 3

4 Example: Fresno, CA City of half million, metro area over a million pop.; substantial growth expected next 30 yrs. Major employers: IRS, food processing, universities Downtown currently has many historic buildings and some high rises, but also very high vacancies and underdeveloped parcels City wants to revitalize, infill First leg of CA HSR here 4 Source: CHSRA Website

7 Station Area Analysis Land Uses within 1.5q.Mi. of Station parking lot area, 9% footprint area (existing buildings), 14% Un(der)develop ed block area (not including parking and buildings), 43% right of way area, 34% Source: University of California, Berkeley (2010) 7

8 Urban Development Potential Currently about 40,000 jobs downtown Fill vacancies (currently about 1.5 M sq. ft.) = 6000 additional jobs Develop on underutilized parcels = 10,000 additional jobs 8

9 Visions of the Future: Urban Design for Economic Development Use existing stock of fine buildings as inspiration for new infill, updating the core area around the station Add housing, hotel, restaurants to serve office workers, visitors Promote Fresno as gateway community to the Sierra Nevada and national parks, and as center of local agricultural cornucopia 9
