The document summarizes key lessons learned from a study tour of new developments in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In Amsterdam, high-density new housing has doubled the population while maintaining quality street surfaces. Simple construction and complex facades have reduced costs. Balconies attract families while social housing caters to a range of households. In Vathorst, Amersfoort, connectivity and mixed uses were prioritized from the beginning. A diversity of builders, housing types, and community facilities help create a vibrant, appealing place. In Rotterdam, redeveloping former docklands with iconic architecture and cultural attractions has transformed the city's image.

The document discusses the differences between streets and roads. Streets are designed to serve both movement and place functions by providing access to buildings and public spaces, while roads mainly focus on accommodating motor traffic movement. Successful street design requires balancing both movement and place priorities. The document then outlines five steps for improving streets: tidy up, de-clutter, relocate/merge functions, rethink traffic management, and re-create the street. It provides case studies demonstrating the application of these steps in Bexley Heath, London, Ashford, Kent, and Poynton Town Centre.Trolley Shelter

The Trolley Museum in Kingston, NY is constructing a new trolley shelter/guide house to provide waiting areas for riders and house information about the museum. The shelter will be made of aluminum framing clad with wavy strips of white translucent Corian, allowing it to glow in sunlight. It is designed to be assembled on-site by volunteers without heavy equipment. The shelter aims to make the museum universally accessible.Presentacio amsterdam

Amsterdam was originally built inside a sea, with houses constructed above waterproof foundations to prevent sinking into the mud. The city's harbor provided wealth, but was not deep enough and required constant maintenance. The main railway station was later built on an artificial island comprising over 9,000 foundations. While Amsterdam once had distinct housing for the rich, middle class, and poor along its three main bridges and canals, many buildings are now expensive banks and businesses. The city continues to expand its network of over 100km of channels, earning it the nickname "Venice of the North".Ueberseestadt

The berseestadt was formerly a commercial harbor in Bremen, Germany that closed in 1981 due to its inability to accommodate modern ships. A development project began in 2002 to redevelop the area, which involved building a new road network, designating industrial and economic areas, and reconstructing living and working spaces. Today the berseestadt is home to many corporations, cultural attractions like art projects in old buildings, and the Waterfront mall.Waterfront for All Summit Workshop #1: Stewardship; how do we maintain and ac...

This document discusses transport and communication in Pakistan. It describes various modes of transport including land, railway, air, pipelines, sea, tankers and container ships. Land transport is the oldest but roads are expensive to maintain. Railways can transport large amounts of goods and people over long distances cost effectively. Air transport is important for long distance travel both within and between countries due to its speed. Pipelines efficiently transport oil, gas and petroleum within regions. Sea transport carries the largest volume of goods globally. The document also notes that modern communication systems like television, radio, computers and phones have made Pakistan more educated and aware of global events and trade.Environmental responsibility

The Suez Canal is a 101 mile canal located in Egypt that connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It was first constructed in the 13th century BC but fell into disuse. Modern attempts to build a canal began in the late 1700s under Napoleon Bonaparte, but were not feasible. Construction of the current canal began in 1858 under Ferdinand de Lesseps and took 10 years, opening in 1869. The canal was nationalized by Egypt in 1956 leading to the Suez Crisis. It has helped reduce travel time between Europe and Asia from over 120 days to just 10,000 km.bezzrzgdsg

Fiscal relations across levels of government and regional disparitiesOECD Governance
油
This document summarizes research on the relationship between fiscal decentralization and regional disparities. The key findings are:
1) Tax decentralization and higher fiscal authority are associated with lower regional disparities, especially for lower income regions, by stimulating sub-national governments to implement more pro-growth policies.
2) Revenue decentralization and higher vertical fiscal imbalances are linked to higher regional disparities.
3) The impact of fiscal decentralization on disparities depends on factors like countries' levels of development and quality of government institutions. Decentralization seems to reduce disparities more in developed countries with higher-quality government.BK 7210 Urbanism Rotterdam and the Delta ir. Han Meyer

油
The document discusses a non-financial cost-benefit analysis of INSPIRE and opportunities for SMEs. It notes that while cost-benefit analyses of INSPIRE have found returns on investment ranging from 1:2 to 1:10, the economic benefits are extremely difficult to calculate. However, general agreement is that the initiatives are worthwhile. The document also suggests that benefits will profoundly improve public administrations and produce further significant indirect benefits for SMEs beyond just INSPIRE through positive feedback loops. Clear communication is needed to help maximize the impact.Investment Planning

This article aims to show the striking contrasts between the city of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, a world reference city in urban planning, and the city of S達o Paulo, in Brazil, a striking example of urban degradation to highlight the imperative need that rational urban planning be taken forward, also, in the largest Brazilian city. Unlike Amsterdam, S達o Paulo is not a planned city that is not integrated into the territorial planning of the State of S達o Paulo because this, too, does not exist. Unlike Amsterdam, which classifies its streets into residential streets, small shopping streets, commercial streets with a lot of traffic, wide arterial avenues and intercity highways, specifying which of them is allowed to circulate cars, motorcycles, bicycles, public transport, freight transport, etc, this does not exist in S達o Paulo. Unlike Amsterdam, which is considered the greenest city in the world, S達o Paulo does not have sustainable development goals and an ecological culture. Unlike Amsterdam, which is considered the fifth smartest city in the world, S達o Paulo does not adopt measures to make the city smart. Recently, the City Council of S達o Paulo approved the revision of the city's Master Plan, a law that guides the city's growth and establishes general rules for the construction of buildings. The city's Master Plan will make its neighborhoods live in the shadow of huge buildings, in addition to living in areas with more traffic and pollution. It is absurd for a city like S達o Paulo to adopt a Master Plan that contributes to an even greater increase in the number of skyscrapers and cars on its congested streets, compromising the well-being of its population. One fact is evident: the revision of the Master Plan of S達o Paulo will contribute to further degrade the city of S達o Paulo.The role of the railroads in the life

During the Industrial Revolution in Britain, new forms of transportation like canals, roads, and railways developed to transport goods more efficiently. This led factories and dense housing to cluster around transportation routes, creating unhealthy and overcrowded urban areas. Thinkers proposed utopian models to address these issues, including Robert Owen's planned industrial towns and J.S. Buckingham's proposals separating homes and factories with green space. Ebenezer Howard further developed the "Garden City" concept combining benefits of town and country life, with industry, commerce, and housing ringed by greenbelts. While utopian proposals aimed to improve living standards, most remained unbuilt and gridiron planning came to dominate expanding industrial cities.1065. genesis of footbridge design, from a community perspective radnor bri...

- The proposed Radnor Bridge would connect two communities across the River Thames in Richmond borough, improving accessibility between the areas and enhancing the local landscape. It would provide pedestrian and cycle paths to improve transportation options while protecting biodiversity. With its strategic positioning and elegant, sustainable design that blends into the natural environment, the bridge could help stimulate social and economic development in the area through improved access between communities and amenities. Local advocates hope to make the project a reality through community support, funding, and environmental reviews.London urban case study

The transport network in 18th century Britain faced major problems. Roads were poorly maintained mud tracks, and travel between parts of the country took weeks. This negatively impacted industry, trade, and food supply. In response, Britain saw a transport revolution from 1750-1900 through improvements to roads, canals, and the rise of railways. Each new method sped up travel and movement of goods, fueling industrial growth. The complex new network brought both economic benefits and social changes to Britain.Community liason-group-presentation-10-02-2015

The document discusses integrated transport solutions for Auckland, New Zealand to address increasing congestion challenges from population and employment growth. It finds that the City Rail Link (CRL) alone will not meet future transit demand and that light rail is needed to optimize the road network and transport access within the city center. Light rail could move more people with less road space than buses and help shape development. The summary concludes that both CRL construction and further evaluation of light rail solutions are needed with regular updates to council.Compact city
