SCGE (S̄patial C̄omputable Ḡeneral Ēquilibrium) model has been developed as a comprehensive policy assessment methodology in the infrastructure planning and management field. Since this field is strongly interested in spatial economic impacts of transport policy, disaster shock and so on, many researches have made efforts to improve how to model the “spatial” interaction via transport system. This article reviews the development of SCGE models in the infrastructure planning and management field as an introduction of the special issue “Frontier of spatial computable general equilibrium analysis in the infrastructure planning and management” and describe the breakthrough of each paper included in this issue. We furthermore mention some perspectives of the future research.
