Introduction
Urban rail systems require major upfront investment, yet many cities face constrained public budgets and rising expectations for expansion, renewal and service quality.
This webinar will examine how funding, financing and delivery models can be combined to support sustainable urban rail development. Participants will gain practical insights from international and regional experience to better assess options, risks and trade-offs.
What You Will Learn
Participants will learn how loans, bonds, public budgets, fares, land-value capture and PPP structures work; how risk is allocated between public and private partners; and what makes a project financially sustainable and attractive to investors.
The webinar will also explore lessons from selected urban rail projects and the conditions needed to apply different models successfully.
Who is it for?
The webinar is designed for urban rail authorities, ministries, municipalities, operators, infrastructure agencies and public transport planners.
It will also be relevant to development banks, investors, financial institutions, consultants, engineering firms, legal advisers, PPP specialists and other professionals involved in planning, funding, financing, delivering or operating urban rail systems.
