  • Public Transport As a Key Factor of Urban Sustainability
    BADANIA FIZJOGRAFICZNE R. II – SERIA D – GOSPODARKA PRZESTRZENNA str. 007 – 020 public tranSport aS a key factor of urban SuStainability. a caSe Study of freiburg Michał Beim, Martin Haag imove – Institute for Mobility & Transport, University of Technology, Paul-Ehrlich-Str. 14, 67663 Kaiserslautern [email protected], [email protected], www.imove-kl.de Abstract: Freiburg im Breisgau is shown in transport literature (e.g. Banister 2005; FritzRoy, Smith 1998; Kretschmer 2002; Nobis 2003) as one of the best examples of sustainable development. Recent decades have been a success story for this middle-sized Southern German city. Since the mid-1950s Freiburg has experien- ced big growth in both population (ca. 62%) and in the number of workplaces. This trend has continued in the last two decades (ca. 17%), which is not common among German cities. One of the results of growing popu- lation is a growing demand for transportation. The situation has forced the city to find a balance between the rising number of cars and the assurance of a high quality of life to attract new inhabitants and new investors, mostly in high-tech industries. The most important tool is an efficient and environmentally friendly transport system, called “ecomobility” (German: “Umweltverbund”). It consists of: walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing. A key role in ecomobility is played by public transport. The paper presents the history of transport policy in Freiburg, the development of public transport and evaluates the main keys to its success, like “flat rate” tickets, integration between public transport and urban planning and modern systems of sub- urban railways.

  • Assessment Documentation
    REGISTER OF HERITAGE PLACES – ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTATION 11. ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The criteria adopted by the Heritage Council in November 1996 have been used to determine the cultural heritage significance of the place. PRINCIPAL AUSTRALIAN HISTORIC THEME(S) • 3.8.6 Building and maintaining railways • 8.1.4 Enjoying the natural environment HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA THEME(S) • 202 Rail & light transport • 203 Road transport • 304 Timber industry • 405 Sport, recreation & entertainment 11. 1 AESTHETIC VALUE* Asquith Bridge is a very substantial utilitarian timber trestle bridge structure having aesthetic significance for its use of structural timbers, lack of adornment, simple but strong proportions and unusual curved alignment. (Criterion 1.2) Asquith Bridge in its natural forest setting, above the Murray River and overlooking the adjoining valley, contributes to the aesthetic values of the natural landscape, provides a focal point to the forest landscape and also an important viewing platform for enjoying the surrounding natural bushland setting. (Criterion 1.3) 11. 2. HISTORIC VALUE Asquith Bridge is one of the last extant railway bridges of timber trestle construction built in Western Australia in the twentieth century and one of the most substantial. (Criterion 2.1) Asquith Bridge was built 1949-52 as part of the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) railway extension for development of the Asquith Timber Concession in the post-World War II period, thus enabling new timber concessions to be available when timber was in short supply. (Criterion 2.2) * For consistency, all references to architectural style are taken from Apperly, Richard; Irving, Robert and Reynolds, Peter A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture: Styles and Terms from 1788 to the Present, Angus & Robertson, North Ryde, 1989.
