This applied study sought to measure the impact of
the Haramain High-Speed Train (HHST) project on the neighborhoods of Tibah
municipality by studying the impact of the train on land prices and urban
growth in the years 2016, 2018, and 2021. Through the use of various
statistical methods and a geographic information system (GIS) program, the
study found that the average price of land near the train remained low, while
the middle and far distant land prices experienced a gradual rise. The study also
examined the rate of urban growth in the study area, demonstrating that the
lands near the train were characterized by a high rate of growth, while the
middle and far distant lands from the train line demonstrated a low level of
urban growth. Further research should explore the economic effect of the train
in Jeddah city in terms of employment and commercial investments as well as the
economic impact of the railway system on the city’s growth and expansion.
