The transformation of Europe towards a more sustainable built environment has large implications on the development of transport infrastructure. National and European authorities invest hugely in transport infrastructure focusing usually on improving individual links for single modes in the form of largescale projects. In practice, such planning often results in cost overruns, time delays and limited public support. Often local (land-use) planning issues become the focus instead of the overall system of transport corridors connecting individual places and services. This paper aims at exploring the concept of sustainable and inclusive corridor planning for large infrastructure development that connects with (local) land-use development and (cross) national transport needs. To this end, we examine experiences from three different cases of corridor-oriented planning in Estonia, Sweden and the Netherlands. Our findings suggest the need for a strategic programmatic approach aligning local needs, individual projects and setting overall goals for corridors and networks. This implies developing and applying multi-level governance frameworks with leadership, early and ongoing stakeholder involvement, and joint platforms for monitoring and learning.
