Papers commissioned and presented at the Roundtables and International Conferences in May 2007 and November 2010 explore the economic foundations of the Gateway and Corridor concept. The work was intended as the basis for future dialogues on the role of gateway and corridors in the field of transportation and regional economics. The Conference and Roundtables were designed to generate major, high quality, policy relevant expert discussions and academic study drawing on conclusions from the activities and dialogue and providing a basis for future policy direction.

While the work were meant to be policy relevant, it was not intended to guide critical, immediate decision-making around regulation or investment. The work was intended to be forward looking, be as much as possible empirically based (both quantitatively and qualitatively), case related and focused on issues of principles rather than implementation.
