This milestone feasibility study extends AECOM\u2019s involvement in the city\u2019s railway network development into the next decades.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Commissioned by the Railway Development Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region\u2019s Highways Department, AECOM conducted a feasibility study to review and update the findings of the <em>Second Railway Development Study<\/em>. The study\u2019s objective is to formulate a comprehensive railway development strategy for Hong Kong up to 2031, incorporating the latest planning data. The preferred railway network expansion plan prioritizes a safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable rail system to support Hong Kong\u2019s economic and social development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AECOM\u2019s responsibilities include project management, engineering, planning, environmental and sustainability assessments, construction oversight, rail operations, systems integration, and public engagement. MVA, our principal sub-consultant, supports transport planning, modeling, and economic analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project marks a strategic milestone, reinforcing AECOM\u2019s role in shaping Hong Kong\u2019s railway network for another decade. With an unparalleled track record, we have contributed to planning nearly all railways and extensions over the past 20\u201330 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AECOM also played a pivotal role in Hong Kong\u2019s <em>first <\/em>and <em>second Railway Development Studies<\/em>, which laid the foundation for railway planning up to 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block block-facts\"\n    style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n\n        <ul class=\"list-style-bullets\">\n                    <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/aecom.com\/projects\/strategic-studies-on-railways-and-major-roads-beyond-2030\/\"\n                        target=\"_self\">Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030<\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3885,"template":"","tags":[],"city":[151],"class_list":["post-3883","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","city-hong-kong"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/3883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/3883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3883"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=3883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
