Tom Forth, industry influencer, highlights the role of taxes in funding large-scale transportation projects across Europe.
According to Forth, Denmark, Stockholm, French cities, and Dublin primarily finance their rail and metro developments through taxes and loans backed by tax revenues.
Forth has previously compared international cost differences, reporting that office rents in Mountain View are twice those in Manchester and Leeds. He has also reviewed economic benchmarks, calling attention to the OECD's 2023 GDP per capita figures adjusted for purchasing power parity. These data points add context to his analysis of how regions structure and finance infrastructure investment.
