China's high-speed rail network – a model for the future?

China's high-speed rail network is developing rapidly: within 30 years, it has grown from zero to 48,000 km. Trains travel at speeds of up to 300 km/h and transport over three billion people annually. The event will show a film and feature a lecture by Dresden-based transport scientist Florian Gau on the development of this impressive transport system. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the extent to which the Chinese high-speed rail model can serve as a model for other regions of the world.
