INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background 1. Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, is a regional hub between the eastern and western regions of the PRC. Home to 3.1 million inhabitants, it is the economic, political, and cultural center of Gansu. The city has four distinct development zones, three of which are on the south bank of the Yellow River, where the business, commerce, and government centers are located. The fourth zone is on the north bank of the river at Anning. The Lanzhou municipal government (LMG) has adopted a strategy of "one river, two centers, seven groups" as a key concept of its urban master plan to optimize land use and the economic and social functions of the city. It has decided to develop a second city center in Anning. As Anning will become the new political, administrative, economic, and cultural center of the city, there will be a significant increase in demand for transport to, from, and within Anning. The Project will contribute to realizing the urban master plan by supporting the development of the urban road network and the urban mass transport system serving the new city center. It will focus on providing a sustainable urban transport system in Lanzhou. 2. The Lanzhou Sustainable Urban Transport Project (the Project) will be ADB's first project to support bus rapid transit (BRT) in the PRC. BRT is an efficient public transport system that provides major benefits for passengers and bus operators and reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The Project is part of ADB's initiative to support greener, more sustainable transport in the PRC and includes support for an application to use the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol. 1.2 Description of the Project 3. Project Approval, Signing, and Effectiveness. ADB approved a loan of $150 million from ADB’s ordinary capital resources for the Project on 11 December 2009. The Loan and Project Agreements were signed on 30 March 2010, and became effective on 14 July 2010. 4. Impact and Outcome. The impacts of the Project will be sustainable economic growth, effective environmental improvement, and improved quality of urban life in Anning District. The Project will (i) generate certified emission reductions, (ii) increase average bus speed in the BRT corridor, (iii) increase the share of public transport, (iv) shorten the average travel time, and (v) lower accident rates for vehicles and non-motorized transport (NMT). 5. Project Scope. The Project consists of four components under ADB financing: (i) Lanzhou Road Network and Related Infrastructure. Under this component, the Project will build a comprehensive

Faculty of Geomatics,Lanzhou Jiaotong University, China 2. National-Local Joint Engineering Research Center of Technologies and Applications for National Geographic State Monitoring, China 3. Gansu Provincial Engineering Laboratory for National Geographic State Monitoring, China Abstract: Color steel plate building has the characteristics of beautiful appearance, low cost, light weight and fast construction speed. It is an important product in the rapid development of the city. It is widely distributed in urban villages, urban fringe, new technology development zones, construction sites and other plots.Its spatial distribution has obvious aggregation characteristics and regularity. This paper takes the four main urban districts of Lanzhou as the research area. Based on the 2017 remote sensing image and urban regional vector boundary data, the GIS platform is used to obtain the color steel plate building vector data by human-computer interaction interpretation, using buffer analysis method, spatial statistical method, etc, the spatial distribution characteristics of color steel plate buildings in the study area were discussed. The results show that the building density of color steel plate decreases with the distance from the Yellow River, which is consistent with the logarithmic model. As the distance from the city center increases, the overall decline, rising at 4-6km, 12-16km.

River channel-form and lateral shifting in a dynamic, partly meandering and partly braided reach of the lower Yellow River, have been significantly influenced by construction of Sanmenxia Dam in 1960, Liujiaxia Dam in 1968, Longyangxia Dam in 1985 and Xiaolangdi Dam in 1997. Using observations from Huayuankou Station, 128 km downstream of Xiaolangdi Dam, this study examines changes in the river before and after construction of the dams.

The results show that: In the spatial pattern of the bus station cluster in the main urban area of lanzhou city, there is a spatial structure of “one main center and two sub-centers”.From the perspective of internal relations, the degree center value of most of the 694 bus stations in the main urban area of lanzhou is greater than the intermediate center value, with the mean values of 370.607874 and 132.401578 respectively. This indicates that most of the bus stations in the main urban area of lanzhou have good direct access ability, but the interconnections between them are poor. By combining the overall urban planning of lanzhou, further optimize the spatial layout of bus stations in the main urban area of lanzhou. 1. Introduction With the acceleration of urbanization, cities are endowed with unprecedented economic, political and technological rights, and inevitably pushed to the center of the world stage, playing a leading role. At the same time, cities are also facing challenges such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, energy shortage, housing shortage, unemployment and disease.

China 4Gansu Electric Power Maintenance Company, Anning District, Lanzhou, P.R. China Keywords: Controllable Shunt Reactor, 750kV Super-high Voltage Grid, Operation, Wind Power. Abstract: Super High Voltage is the efficient way to achieve low power losses in long distance power transmission, but power frequency overvoltage and secondary current still exist. In order to improve the stability of the system, high voltage controllable shunt reactor (CSR) is added to the system. This thesis was based on the large amount of data about the 750kV controllable shunt reactor operated in the 750kV substation of Dunhuang, which is the first CSR applied in 750kV super-high voltage grid in China. The relationship between the variation of the voltage and the switching on/off of CSR was analized, the actual impacts of the CSR on the reactive power distribution and the active power loss were studied. Furthermore, a certain theory basis for the CSR maintenance was provided. 1 INTRODUCTION Dunhuang substation of Jiuquan (Liu et al., 2012). The map of the position of Dunhuang and Jiuquan is Northwest of China is rich in wind power, a 10GW as shown in Figure 1, marked with read circle. wind farm has being developed.
