    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.

He is a graduate of bridge related to bridge condition engineering of Central South assessment. University. Summary Because of its superior efficiency, environment-friendly and aesthetic value, Bus rapid transit (BRT) system has grown to be an emerging urban public transport system in recent years. Based on the study of Xiamen BRT, the first viaduct bus rapid transit system in China, the numerous technical features of this system have been studied, such as load model, bridge type selection as well as span arrangement. Meanwhile, the design of ancillary facilities and some new construction methods have been discussed. As a significant part of urban landscape, the coherence between bridges and environment has been fully taken into account during the bridge design process. Moreover, on the basis of the static and dynamic field testing, the actual operation state and dynamic performance of this series of bridges have been analyzed. The paper also discussed the feasibility on the new concept for shifting the BRT bridges from rapid transit to light rail in long-term. Keywords: Bus rapid transit (BRT); viaduct; design parameters; finite element (FE) analysis; field load testing.

Die Beiden gehören zu den schnellen und mittel-kapazitiven Nahverkehrssystemen und haben damit viele Gemeinsamkeiten, aber auch Un- terschiede. Wenn eine Stadt ein schnelles und mittel-kapazitives Nahverkehrs- system einbauen möchte, müssen die Entscheidungsträger zwischen BRT und Straßenbahn erwägen und auswählen. Mit dieser Frage nimmt diese Arbeit mittelstufige BRT und moderne Straßenbah- nen als Untersuchungsobjekt. Zunächst werden die Definition, Geschichte, Zu- sammensetzungen, Spektrum und Stufe, Funktionen und Bedeutung der BRT- und Straßenbahnsysteme dargestellt. Dann werden die beiden schnellen und mittel-kapazitiven Nahverkehrssysteme von fünf Aspekten- technische Funktion, Investitionskosten, Energieverbrauch und Umweltschutz, Anpassungsmöglichkei- ten und Betrieb und Management aus mehreren Punkten wie Beförderungsfähig- keit in China detailliert und umfassend verglichen. Daraus ergeben sich die relati- ven Vor-und Nachteile von beiden. Auf dieser Grundlage wird das Auswahlmodell mit Hilfe von dem Analytischen Hierarchieprozess (AHP) aufgebaut.
  • Contesting the Commercialization and Sanctity of Religious Tourism In

    Contesting the Commercialization and Sanctity of Religious Tourism In

    Contesting the Commercialization and Sanctity of Religious Tourism in The Shaolin Monastery, China Abstract The Shaolin Monastery annually attracts millions of visitors from around the world. However, the overcommercialization of these sacred places may contradict the values and philosophies of Buddhism. This study aims to comprehensively understand the balance between commercialization and sanctity, engaging with 58 Chinese practitioners and educators in 7 focus groups. Participants articulated their expectation to avoid overcommercialization, and they discussed the conflicts between commercialization and sanctity to further explore on how to mitigate over commercialization. Based on the study findings, a balanced model of religious tourism development is proposed and specific recommendations are offered to sustainably manage religious sites. Keywords: Shaolin monastery, kung fu, culture, commercialization, sanctity, religion INTRODUCTION A popular Chinese saying states that “All martial arts under heaven arose out of the Shaolin Monastery.” The Shaolin Monastery is the birthplace of Dhyana (also known as Zen, a Buddhism philosophy that emphasizes internal meditation) and Shaolin kung fu, which evolved from Buddhism. This martial art tradition, which spanned for over 1,500 years, involves the Shaolin monks learning the Buddhism doctrines and practicing the Dhyana (Chan) philosophy in their martial arts. This practice has distinguished Shaolin kung fu from other types of Chinese kung fu (The Shaolin Monastery, 2010). The movie Shaolin Monastery released in 1982 established the global reputation of Chinese kung fu and the Shaolin Monastery. A number of movies are also made subsequently based on topics involving Chinese kung fu and the monastery. For example, the recent movie, The Grand Masters (2013), introduced kung fu worldwide as a fascinating element of the Chinese culture.

Agarwal, S. Chandra and K.K. Miglani on METRO RAIL IN INDIA . Metros across the World have been in operation since the late 1800s and transport millions of commuters across cities every day. There are now more than 190 Metro Installations globally with an average of about 190 million daily passengers. The first Metro Rail, that went underground, had been in London, England, and opened as an underground steam train for the public on 10st January 1863: llustration of a Train at Praed Street Junction near Paddington, 1863; from: History Today, Volume 63, Issue 1, January, 2013 Vintage London Underground Steam Train; Source “Made up in Britain” 1 Thed worl over, the 21st Century observed the opening of many new Metro Lines, the extension o f existing Metro Systems and the acquisition of modern Rolling Stocks, mostly in Asian Countries. In the last decades Urban Rail Transits in China developed fastest in the world. Urban Rail Transit in the People's Republic of China encompasses a broad range of urban and suburban electric passenger rail mass transit systems including subway, light rail, tram and maglev.
