Refutation of the "subway fever theory" Subway construction still has important value and developmen

Rail Transit Exhibition News Recently, a media reported that "the planned mileage of subways in many places has shrunk, and the era of subway 'hurricane' has ended!" A striking story was published for the headline. The article emphasizes that in recent years, the scale of subway planning in many cities has been significantly reduced, and the investment in subway construction has continued to decline, which seems to indicate that subway construction has entered a period of decline, and the investment boom in the past is rapidly cooling down.

However, the editor believes that this view may be too one-sided and short-sighted, ignoring the long-term value and potential development space of subway construction. In fact, the slowdown in subway construction should be seen as a rational return and quality improvement, rather than a simple "end" or "recession". Here's why:

The slowdown in subway construction is a rational adjustment, not a full-blown recession

The slowdown in subway construction in recent years actually reflects the state's rational regulation and control of urban rail transit development. The purpose of this adjustment is to ensure that the construction of the subway is commensurate with the level of urban development and financial affordability, rather than denying the value of the subway construction. In fact, this prudent attitude is conducive to the long-term healthy development of the metro system.

The metro remains a key measure to address traffic congestion in large cities

As urbanization continues to advance, the traffic pressure in large cities is still huge. As an efficient, environmentally friendly and high-capacity public transport, the subway plays an irreplaceable role in alleviating traffic congestion and improving the urban environment. Therefore, the demand for subway construction still exists, but the pace and scale of construction need to be more reasonable.

Technological innovation provides new impetus for the development of the subway

With the development of intelligent and digital technology, the construction and operation of subways are ushering in new opportunities. For example, innovations such as driverless technology and intelligent dispatching systems can significantly improve the operational efficiency and safety of subways and reduce costs. These technological advancements will inject new vitality into the metro industry.

Regional differences in metro construction

Although the metro network in first-tier cities tends to be perfect, there is still a lot of room for development in the rail transit system of many second- and third-tier cities. With the economic strength of these cities increasing, it is still possible to usher in a new round of subway construction in the future.

The transformation and upgrading of the subway industry chain

In an article, it is mentioned that the subway design institute has begun to diversify, which actually reflects the adaptability and innovation ability of the industry. By expanding the scope of business, such as entering the field of subway operation, the subway industry chain is realizing transformation and upgrading, which is conducive to the long-term sustainable development of the industry.

Continuity of national policy support

Although the recent tightening of subway approvals does not mean that the state has given up on supporting rail transit. On the contrary, the "14th Five-Year Plan" still emphasizes the development of urban rail transit, but pays more attention to scientific planning and prudent construction. This policy orientation will promote the development of subway construction in the direction of higher quality.

The comprehensive benefits of the subway to urban development

The subway is not only a means of transportation, but also drives the development of land along the line and promotes the optimization of urban functions. The rise of the TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) model is a reflection of the comprehensive benefits of the subway. This model will provide a new economic impetus for the construction of the subway.

Conclusion: Although subway construction has indeed entered a relatively stable stage of development, this does not mean that the "subway fever" has completely retreated. On the contrary, this trend reflects that subway construction is developing in a more mature and rational direction. With the deepening of urbanization, the advancement of technological innovation and the balance of regional development, subway construction still has broad development prospects. We should take a more long-term and holistic view of the future development of the metro industry. Protect the achievements of our subway industry construction for many years, and prohibit the media from singing about it!
