These include regulations, pricing instruments, innovative financial tools and risk-sharing mechanisms. The focus of this report is on land-based transport infrastructure for passenger use, including passenger rail, bus rapid transit systems, metros, non-motorised transportation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

REAL CORP conferences have been held annually since 1996. About 500 experts from around the world from the fields of urban planning, transport planning, information and communication technologies, architecture, social and environmental sciences, real estate, GIS, surveying, remote sensing and more meet to discuss current tasks and topics on urban planning, regional development and information society in an international and extremely interdisciplinary conference. The 2013 conference explored the relationship between time and space, and how the planning practise and theory relates itself to this complex synergy. Time and space work on different scales, dimensions and topics, and confront us with questions such as: How to plan taking into account time, both past history and future development? How to integrate monitoring within the planning decision processes, such as in the case of natural disasters? How to handle time that cannot be planned, such as long decision processes or real time decisions? A large number of papers are available online under the following themes: adapting cities for future challenges; fragile cities; smart cities; memory and imagination; monitoring to plan; governing green networks across borders; improving energy in urban areas; public participation; abandoned churches; cities for all; improving daily resilience of our cities; density and public space; data and planning; social housing; the role of real estate towards a sustainable future of cities; and climate change assessment.
