  • Report Report INTRODUCTION
    Report Report INTRODUCTION The efforts the Catalan government is making to extend the public transport network to new points of the territory and improve the quality of the service have made a notable contribution to the increase in demand, especially in the second half of 2010. For example, in the sphere of the integrated fare system for the Barcelona area a total of 922.33 million journeys were recorded for 2010, 0.9% more than the previous year, thanks largely to the increase in the number of journeys by Metro, a 5.4% increase over 2009. Moreover, this upward tendency in the number of journeys made by public transport has been confirmed in the first quarter of 2011, and the forecasts for the close of the year LLUÍS RECODER I MirAllES already point to a record annual figure. Councillor for Territory and Sustainability and Chairman of the This recovery of demand is partly due to the set of measures taken to improve the infra- Metropolitan Transport Authority structure which the Catalan government is promoting in order to extend the public transport network and bring it to new centres of population, thus substantially broadening its area of coverage. It was in 2010 that new sections of the Metro came into operation, such as L9/L10 between Gorg and La Sagrera, L5 between Horta and Vall d’Hebron, and L2 between Pep Ventura and Badalona Pompeu Fabra. It was in the same year that Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat opened the station at Volpelleres near Sant Cugat del Vallès. In the field of road public transport various bus lines have been modified and extended to adapt their routes to the new needs for access to strategic facilities and other points where a large number of journeys are concentrated.

  • Olympic Transportation Planning: the Legacies of Barcelona and Beijing
    OLYMPIC TRANSPORTATION PLANNING: THE LEGACIES OF BARCELONA AND BEIJING Doneliza Joaquin Submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirement for the degree Master of Science in Urban Planning Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2012 INTRODUCTION Being selected as a host city for sport mega-events, such as the Olympics and the World Cup, is both a gift and a burden. Host cities are thrust into the international spotlight and must provide the stadiums, housing, transportation infrastructure and management, and crowd management needed for the games. To adequately supply transportation for the movement of millions of athletes, spectators, media, officials, workers, and volunteers; between venues, housing, and the airport; mega-events require the host city to implement a strategic transportation plan with a strict deadline. The transportation infrastructure built and policies implemented for these mega-events are an integral part of the games that can alter a city’s transportation network and leave a lasting legacy. Potential host cities are only required by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to demonstrate their ability to provide a transportation plan that can efficiently support movement during the Olympic Games. Nowhere in a city’s Olympic bid must it explain how transportation built or policies implemented will be used after the Olympics has ended. In competition with other cities to win a bid, potential host cities may drastically propose to alter their transportation networks to attract the IOC. Mega-events provide an opportunity for a host city to make major investments in infrastructure development. These opportunities can by catalytic, compressing what was already planned on being built from taking decades to implementing it in a few years, or divergent, developing infrastructure specifically designed for purposes of the mega-event that would not have otherwise been built (Kassens 2009).
