  • Ambitious Roadmap for City's South

When I was a kid we used to buy hun- dreds of coal briquettes to heat the room in the winter. In addition to the inconvenience of carry- ing those briquettes in the freezing winter, the rooms were sometimes choked with smoke when we lit the stove. In 2010, the government replaced the traditional coal-burning stoves with electric radiators in the community where grand- ma has spent most of her life.

The findings suggest that some BRT design features – such as center lane configurations, left turn prohibitions, and signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings with refuge islands – can significantly improve safety on the corridors where BRTs operate. However, there is still a gap in knowledge about how the different safety features might impact the operational performance of the BRT.

  • Africa 2016 Latin America 2016 Latin America 2015-2016
    In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

Beijing is such a metropolis and in its urban peripheral, an increasing number of communities have emerged that are comprised of monotonous housing projects. However, after the basic residential living requirements are satisfied, many other problems (including lack of amenities, distance between home and workplace which is particularly concerned with long commute time, traffic congestion, and etc.) exist.

  • August 5, 2021 Garrigues Advises Metro De Lima on US$961 Million
    August 5, 2021 Garrigues advises Metro de Lima on US$961 million financing packages for Lima Metro Line 2 Project Garrigues advised Metro de Lima Linea 2 on a set of financings packages for the Lima Metro Line 2 Project, in an aggregate amount of US$961 million. These packages consisted in (i) a US$811 million off-balance sheet Export Credit Agency backed-financing, and (ii) an amended and restated US$150 million Revolving Construction Facility. Both financings are backed by Peruvian government payments under the Lima Metro Line 2 Project and closed days apart. Lima Metro Line 2 is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects launched in Latin America under a PPP structure. Under the 35-year concession agreement, 35 km of subway lines will be built, with a total investment of approximatively US$ 5.5bn. Peru employs a unique financing mechanism to minimize construction risk for the Lima Metro Line 2 Project, called RPI-CAOs. These are government-backed milestone-linked receivables that represent the payment obligations of Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications. Each RPI-CAO makes available 60 quarterly payments for a period of 15 years to the Project, upon achievement of defined milestones, and will be used to repay lenders under both facilities. KEY HIGHLIGHTS: A. ECA-Backed Facility: The Facility is covered by an export credit guarantee provided by SACE, the Italian Export Credit Agency. The syndicated loan was provided by a set of European banks to a special purpose vehicle, which will purchase the RPI-CAOs from Metro de Lima using funds disbursed by lenders.
