"Gonzalez, Regional Authority of Madrid ABSTRACT:Recently, an extension of Line 8 of the Madrid Metro has been built by the Regional Authority of Madrid. This extension is included in the 1999-2003 Madrid Underground Extension Planning, as a complementary communication between Barajas Airport and Down Town, concretely to the New Ministries Station. In this Station a new transport interchanger (with general Metro Line) is carried out. In this paper the main characteristics of the new works (tunnel line and Stations) are described: RESUME:Recenten‘lent le Goubernement Autonomique de la Region de Madrid a ,batl l'extension de la ligne n° 8 du Metro de Madrid. Les ouvrages ont includes dans le Plan 1999-2003 du l'ampliation du Metro, comme une comunication complementaire entre l'Airport de Barajas et le centre de la Ville de Madrid (travers d'une neuf intercomunicate du transport a la gare de Nuevos Ministerios).

Dans le rapport on decrit le pricipaux characteristics de les neuves chantieres (de tunnels et des gares). \. 1.- INTRODUCTION` 2.- GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOILS The Regional Authority for Madrid (Spain) _is currently undertaking a second Extension of the Madrid Metro (period The ground bored by the new works -located in the northeast of 1999-2003). During this Extension, more than 53 km of new line Madrid - corresponds to what is geologically known as the are going to be constructed, 'primarily by means of underground Madrid facies, and in this case it consists of tertiary detritic excavation, including the construction of more than 30_ new sediments (Pliocene), somewhat cemented, with a varying stations. Forming part of these works is the Extension of Line 8, content of fines, covered with soft to very soft alluvial materials which will link Madrid-Barajas Airport with the centre of Madrid (in valley bottoms) and with heterogeneous anthropic fills, soft (Nuevos Ministerios), permitting baggage check-in from that and collapsible formations. central location and quicker access to the Airport. To achieve this, somewhat more than 3.5 km of tunnel .have been ln the Pliocene detritic sediments, four different and interbedded constructed, together with two new stations: one in Calle materials can in general be distinguished, according to their Colombia and the other in Nuevos Ministerios, which is a large geotechnical properties a) “Miga sand", sandy sediments with station that includes an interchanger for linking with two other less than 25 % of lines. b) "Tosquiza sand", sandy-clayey Metro lines and with the North-South axis of the national rail sediments with a tines content of between 25 and 40 %. c) network crossing Madrid (fig. 1). “Sandy Tosco”, clayey-sandy material, little defonnability, with a tines content of between 40 and 60%. d) "Tosco”, stiff clay, somewhat silty, with a fines content higher than 60 %. cR\5_-:\o“\`MAR D:\:\`TO A|RPoRT _ cAsr||_|_A.`‘ ’ sTP-' I\‘ €%___. \\‘:s\ _ , .‘ T\. , " T5e g 5X, / co|_omB|A~Ew Q \\?\ ~, I 4?fs ~ 3 5 `x,¢\\° S r sr/mon If éslf' 2I- < > efjp #V ¢- ' lr‘” 0 . ll.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.

The first (Phase 1) section, completed in 2009, stretches 25.5kmand connects Gangnam and Gangseo, Seoul by being operated from Gimpo Airport to Banpo through Yeoui-do. The second (Phase 2) section of Eeonju, Seonjeongneung, Samsung Jungang, Bongeunsa and Sports Complex stations were additionally opened in March 2015. Subway Line 9 is connected to most of the lines in the city (except for Subway Lines 6 and 8), and it is the only line in Seoul that operates an express line in the entire system. It was constructed through private investment for the first time in Korea as an urban rail transit and promoted by a public-private partnership (PPP) project in the Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) that transfers the ownership of the facilities to the Seoul metropolitan government after the completion and allows private investors to gain benefits from investment for 30 years of operation in accordance with the agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Gaps in some intervention areas might stand next to overachievement in other fields. This will open a strategic debate in many programmes: How can future calls for proposals contribute to the achievement of programmes’ results? What are key aspects to be considered when planning, preparing and launching last calls? What can be an efficient and effective ways for programmes to use last calls to narrow respectively close the gap between the expected and actually attained outputs? What could be leading aspects when formulating the call requirements such as capitalisation or attracting new groups of applicants or spearheading into new ideas for post-2020 etc.? We would like to discuss all these aspects with you and we will offer, to the extent possible, first-hand experience and insights when it comes to planning last calls. Objectives The core objective of the workshop is the open exchange on experiences, concerns and reflections when considering the preparation of the programme’s last calls. We would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss new approaches and good practices, in order to: prepare your final rounds in an efficient and effective way; and achieve the envisaged targets at priority and programme levels.

    INTRODUCTION In these complicated times for both citizens and public administrations, public transport remains a government action priority, perhaps more so than ever before. Despite the demands placed on their budgets, the Catalan Government and local authorities have prioritised the allocation of resources to the ATM to maintain the current levels of quality and service. People’s right to accessibility must be guaranteed and, in order to do so to a satisfactory standard, we must equip ourselves with an effective and efficient public trans- port system, while abiding by the principles of sustainable mobility. Moreover, we must be especially alert to the needs of those people who, for personal or family circumstances, LLUÍS RECODER I MirallES require support from the administration. The commitment to discounted concession tickets Councillor for Territory and Sustain- is a clear example of this and is further demonstrated by the creation of the new ticket for ability and Chairman of the Metro- politan Transport Authority unemployed people, the reduction in the cost of the T-Jove and T-Trimestre cards and the expansion of the T-12 card to include children up to the age of 13. 2011 was a good year for the Barcelona Metropolitan Transport Authority from the point of view of demand. Within the area covered by the Integrated Fare System, a historic high of 935.5 million journeys was reached, 1.4% more than the previous year. The use of public transport has risen across the board, with an increase of 0.6% in bus travel and 1.9% in rail travel.
