abstract = {This study describes the influence on population and land use of the recent inauguration of commuter rail stations
in the metropolitan area of Madrid (Spain) in the period 2000–2011. Population growth in recent residential
developments in the vicinity of new commuter rail stations was found to be greater than in comparable areas lacking
any urban railway. Moreover, the growth in population near new stations was greater than in the broader study area
where they are located, the metropolitan ring of Madrid. The settling of inhabitants nearby is a trend seen to
accelerate shortly after inauguration of these new commuter stations. This effect is considerably stronger in the zone
nearest the station. Such findings underline the positive influence that a quality public transport system may have on
urban development.},
