虽然建立运输走廊的战略在全球南方很普遍，但缺乏实证研究来评估这些举措，特别是评估它们是否实现了缩小区域差距的总体目标。本文介绍了一种多方法的方法，涉及空间和非空间分析，调查空间差异沿着拟议的走廊，并检查其整合在现有的解决结构。印度的德里-孟买工业走廊的分析框架进行了测试。一个基本原理的发展，使一个关键的角度来看，走廊政策的发展战略，在全球South.One重要的发现有关运输走廊的政策是未来的增长将仍然集中在地区直接连接到拟议的走廊，离开边缘地区边缘化的风险。对印度目前空间和社会差距的综合分析表明，在城乡之间交通便利的地区，增长率较高。具体而言，农村地区的增长得益于良好的公路网以及理工和职业院校，而在城市地区，增长与中学的提供有着积极的联系。为了防止甚至减少差距，这项研究建议制定空间战略，并建立机制，使下级政府能够执行这些战略，改革空间计划和基础设施支出，以改善拟议走廊和周边地区之间的无障碍环境，并将无障碍环境指标纳入交通运输发展政策的设计和执行。
Although strategies to create transport corridor are prevalent in the global South, there is a lack of empirical research to evaluate these initiatives, in particular whether they have realised their general goal of reducing regional disparities. The current paper describes a multi-method approach involving spatial and non-spatial analysis to investigate spatial disparity along a proposed corridor and examine its integration within the existing settlement structure. The analytical framework is tested on India's Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. A rationale is developed to enable a critical view of corridor policies as strategies for development in the global South.One important finding regarding policies on transport corridors is the risk that future growth will remain concentrated in districts directly linked to a proposed corridor, leaving peripheral areas marginalised. An integrative analysis of current spatial and social disparities in India shows growth to be high in areas with good accessibility between urban and rural areas. Specifically, growth in rural areas is fostered by the availability of good road network, and polytechnic and vocational institutions, whereas in urban areas, growth is positively associated with the provision of secondary schools. In order to prevent or even reduce disparities, this research recommends that spatial strategies be developed with mechanisms to enable their implementation by lower tiers of governments, that spatial plans and infrastructure outlays be reformed to improve accessibility between proposed corridors and peripheral areas, and that accessibility indicators be included in the design and implementation of transport development policies.
