How to achieve a High Speed Rail(HSR) network in ScandinaviaHigh Speed Rail is a reality in countries all over the world and it is not just a transportation solution. Better ways of travelling and transporting goods are crucial in order to shrink the distance between the Scandinavian cities, thus unfolding the potential of cross border collaboration and a fully integrated Scandinavian labour market.Research has shown that HSR in Scandinavia (Oslo-Gothenburg-Copenhagen) is very profitable and will generate large socioeconomic benefits throughout the future mega-region. But how do we proceed from here?8 Million City is arranging a conference where leading actors within the field of high-speed rail brings international experiences and global best practices to discussion. The program is built around three content pillars, reflecting the core considerations required to successfully plan, build and finance a high speed rail network in Scandinavia.Welcome!
