| 摘要： | The report highlights key initiatives developed by ADB for managing railway development. It concludes that railway development stimulates balanced economic growth and help change the lives of the people in the region that it serves. ADB has invested more than $3 billion in the People's Republic of China's railway sector, providing 14 loans covering 15 provinces, mostly poorer areas in the central and western regions. This report is a review of these projects and explores their positive impacts in promoting economic growth and reducing poverty. The railway projects have been instrumental in boosting personal incomes, creating jobs, bringing industry to rural areas, generating local government revenue, developing tourism, improving housing, protecting the environment, and increasing the participation of women and ethnic minorities in economic activities. In addition, railway construction units provided local communities with access roads, electrification, water supply systems, and basic infrastructure. The projects supported the development of economic growth corridors and microurbanization; provided greater mobility and better access to markets; and enabled local governments to set up industrial zones and product bases to develop their secondary and tertiary industrial sectors. Increased revenues were used to provide better primary education, health services, agricultural development, and physical infrastructure. |
