Economic and Social Impacts of HS2

高速2号(HS2)是英国计划中的第二个高速铁路网(仅次于连接伦敦和英吉利海峡隧道的HS1)。它是英国最大的基础设施项目之一，有可能改变英格兰主要城市之间的交通连接。然而，HS2仍然存在争议，充满了不确定性。利用相关的学术文献和尖端的数据分析方法，这一多学科项目将努力为HS2的关键方面提供信息，特别是关于其经济、环境和社会影响。与英国领先的工程咨询公司之一Costein密切合作，您将帮助开发既具有学术严谨性又具有实际实用性的方法和模型。

High Speed 2 (HS2) is Britain's planned second high speed rail network (after HS1 which connects London with the Channel Tunnel). It represents one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects and has the potential to transform transport connections between England's major cities. Nevertheless, HS2 remains controversial and is fraught with uncertainties. Drawing on the relevant academic literature and using cutting-edge data analytical methods, this multi-disciplinary project will seek to inform key aspects of HS2, particularly with respect to its economic, environmental and social implications. Working closely with Costain, one of the UK's leading engineering consultancy firms, you will help to develop methods and models that have both academic rigour and practical use.
