IRS8 Hyatt Regency Delhi, India
How can rail transport best keep pace with rapid population growth?
The IRS8 conference programme explored the challenges posed by rapid population growth. The programme tackled the innovative and revolutionary sector development being undertaken to address it: from planning a major project to safety, from assessing the value of high-speed rail to increasing urban capacity, from passenger experience to what rail can offer the crowded transport market that other modes cannot.
