Abstract

Modern light-rail systems are recognized as potential catalysts for urban regeneration and can have a significant role in a sustainability strategy for urban agglomerations. Transit infrastructures territorial impact assessment has great interest both for the cientific community and for public decision makers. However, a cost-benefit analysis can be stilted and results are fragile, frequently failing to be rigorous and independent. Sintropher project created an innovative assessment methodology that aims to be simple, transparent and effective communicating with the public. Our research aims to evaluate Porto’s light-rail merits and its contribution to urban regeneration; we will compare results with Sintropher’s case studies, trying to point directions to be followed by similar projects in the future.
