Falling investment in transport infrastructure and logistics has had a knock-on effect on the commercial development of the region as a whole.\r\n\r\nThe Latin American Development Bank, founded 50 years ago, recently funded an investment analysis study of the region\u00b4s intercity land transport sector, focusing specifically on road and rail. Irene de Cubas, CENIT\u00b4s Research Engineer for the report explains\r\n\r\n\"We know there is a direct correlation between a country or region\u00b4s GDP and transport infrastructure. In fact, <strong>Latin America<\/strong> is an extreme case, having a very limited transport network in relation to land area and population. So this is what we would call an <strong>infrastructure gap<\/strong>, in other words the need for investment projects to gradually bring the region in line or on an even footing with other regions such or Europe, North America or Asia Pacific to encourage long term increased economic growth and prosperity as a whole\".\r\n\r\nSpecifically, the report highlights:\r\n\r\n- <strong>Performance and sustainability indicators<\/strong> and impact of new technologies\r\n- <strong>Capacity and demand measures<\/strong> to determine the need for future investment\r\n- <strong>Gap analysis<\/strong> comparing land transport infrastructure to the OECD objective\r\n- <strong>Overriding trends and challenges<\/strong> in the transport sector\r\n- <strong>Social and environmental effects<\/strong>\r\n- The impacts of expected technological innovations and the expected medium and long-term effects for Latin America\r\n- The need to <strong>establish criteria<\/strong> for selecting those projects that can provide the greatest added value, the focus being to prioritise profitable and sustainable projects\r\n\r\nAs with all long term strategic investment projects, it\u00b4s not just about doing things right, but in fact doing the right thing in the first place.\r\n\r\n[\/fusion_text][fusion_youtube id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DSagX8dknQI\" alignment=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" autoplay=\"false\" api_params=\"&rel=0\" hide_on_mobile=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\" class=\"\" css_id=\"\" \/][\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container]","_et_gb_content_width":"","slim_seo":{"title":"CENIT's Director Sergi Saur\u00ed interviewed on Good Morning Europe - CIMNE","description":"&nbsp;"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[284,40],"tags":[472,145,473,474],"class_list":["post-251162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cenit","category-innovation-news","tag-infrastructure","tag-news","tag-pay-per-use-tolls","tag-transport-economics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cimne.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
