【IDT】南亚地区的交通走廊建设及其发展启示
这是第 334 篇文章
引言
随着“一带一路”倡议的深入实施，连接区域间、国家间的交通走廊建设也方兴未艾。针对具体区域的案例研究可以分析交通走廊项目所带来的广泛的经济影响，包括对就业、社会公平以及可持续发展的作用。南亚地区不仅人口众多，也是连接东亚、中亚、中东以及欧洲的重要枢纽地带。对该地区交通走廊建设的分析结果有助于人们更好地评估各类跨区域发展计划的效果。
城市是互联互通项目中的重要节点。跨区域项目的成功很大程度取决于节点城市利用互联互通效果的能力，而交通连接能力也是城市表现的重要因素。与机制的碎片化与重叠有关，南亚的城市化进程步履凌乱。坐落在恒河三角洲布里甘家河北岸的孟加拉国首都达卡，完全可以成为连接南亚和东亚的超级城市。但达卡的案例给人们展示了这一进程中的挑战。
在此背景之下，作为国际发展合作研究、教学和实践等先行者之一，中国农业大学中国南南农业合作学院/人文与发展学院举办国际发展实践·洞见系列2019年第三期——

INTRODUCTION
South Asia is not only one of the world’s most populous regions, but also a hinge between East Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. While the BRI initiative goes mostly around the region, recent years have seen a proliferation of efforts to build transport corridors across it. Case studies and specific analysis allow assessing these corridor initiatives in terms of their broader economic impacts, including on employment, equity, and sustainability. The findings have implications for the appraisal of corridor initiatives going forward (presentation by Martin Rama).
Cities are the nodes of connectivity projects, and the success of corridors very much depends on the cities’ ability to leverage the effects of connectivity. But the urbanization process is notoriously messy in South Asia, due to institutional fragmentation and overlaps. The challenges are illustrated for the case of Dhaka, a megacity bound to become the main node linking South Asia and East Asia. However, connectivity is also among the most important determinants of local performance, even in a messy institutional environment (presentation by Yue Li).
