https://jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/article/view/2557
Authors Meixia Meng, Zihan Zeng, and Zhe Huo evaluate economic and social benefits of #subway stations, finding a positive relationship between proximity to a subway station and new investments in consumer-facing amenities, with a greater affect near stations with higher ridership.
The research includes policy implications for the spatial layout of subways and consumer amenities in large cities of developing countries.
