Abstract
In lat e 2017 and early 2018, the Government of Maharashtra embarked on plans to b uild a Hyperloop network that will connect Mumbai to Pune, reducing the tra vel time between these two cities from more than three hours to under 30 mi nutes. This paper describes some of the possible effects of such a developm ent. It introduces a new concept called “cost-of-distance” arbitrage to cap ture the principal economic force that will be activated by a Hyperloop lin e and then offers a contextual analysis of how the urban landscapes of Mumb ai and Pune might be altered by the line. The paper also presents some prel iminary thoughts on how policymakers might adapt extant institutions to the prospect of a Hyperloop line so as to derive the maximum economic benefits from such a revolutionary tool of urban transformation.
