Silk METRO Interactive map

The ancient Silk Road was a combination of routes and lines, connecting the network of Eurasian cities. The best image of this connectivity is the nowadays metro system. So we tried to combine these two concepts with modern technology, creating Eurasian high-speed metro. We call it Metro of the METR region or simply «Silk metro». With our interactive map you can already taste the future mobility of the Silk metro now.

Railway Silk Road

Eurasia was brought into existence by the Great Silk Road. Its political, economic and cultural ties would not be possible without mobility. The mobility today is represented in the most significant way by the Railway Silk Road, which may be seen as a large Eurasian metro. The cities-stations of this metro are represented by the members of the Railway Silk Road Cities Forum.

White book

The MIR "White book" is a collection of visionary articles and statements, focused on the future development of transport and communications in the METR region (Middle East, Europe, Turkey and Russia). Our authors include intellectuals and decision makers representing major construction, railway, road, industrial, aviation, financial, consulting companies, as well as governmental, nongovernmental and intergovernmental institutions.
