  • Santiago, Always Looking, Never Finding
    Santiago, always looking, never finding. Who would help me To disarm your ancient history And from pieces to conquer you again A city I want to have for everyone built That feeds whoever wants to enjoy. (Luis Lebert, To my City) Anyone who approaches Santiago with open-mindedness will enjoy a city that has never stopped making and remaking itself, as if it always wanted to know why it is here, what it is doing here, where it is going. Santiago does not have a unique identity, on the contrary, it is always multiple, it is the identity given to it by its people, its neighborhoods and by landscape, the ever present mountain range of the Andes that marks the orientation and the seasons. You will not find here a nation or a people, but a fragmented and reconstituted history, made over and over again, full of small and great contradictions, sometimes with great inequities, and others with great generosity. A city destroyed and rebuilt dozens of times in its history, either by the earthquakes or avenues of the rivers, or in its origin by the old inhabitants. You will not find old buildings, accordingly. The oldest, the Church of San Francisco, begun in 1572, is on its feet and has heroically resisted great earthquakes, probably because in its foundations was used Inca technology of large stone boulders that absorbed the displacement of the earth. Scarce is then the antique Santiago. Spanish colonial buildings disappeared. Here and there you will find buildings from the 19th century, sometimes entire districts, many of them devotees of the French style of the Belle Epoque.

  • Analysis of the Impacts of British Reforms
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS OF BRITISH TRANSPORT REFORMS ON TRANSIT INTEGRATION IN THE METROPOLITAN AREAS by Charles Rivasplata Ph.D. Dissertation Transportation Technology and Policy University of California, Davis Committee in Charge: Professor Martin Wachs Professor Daniel Sperling Professor Robert Johnston Spring 2006 An Analysis of the Impacts of British Transport Reforms on Transit Integration in the Metropolitan Areas Copyright 2006 by Charles Richard Rivasplata ABSTRACT An Analysis of the Impacts of British Transport Reforms on Transit Integration in the Metropolitan Areas by Charles R. Rivasplata Doctor of Philosophy in Transportation Technology and Policy University of California, Davis Professor Martin Wachs, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Sperling, Chair By the 1990s, many experts concluded that transit privatization in Britain had produced positive impacts on service provision in London, but that deregulation outside of the capital had resulted in a number of negative impacts to passengers, most notably, rising fares, lower service frequencies in some areas, and declining levels of service integration. In an attempt to improve mobility at the local level, the incoming Labour Government effectively devolved transport planning powers to local authorities, requiring that they submit five-year Local Transport Plans in order to receive funding. Empowering legislation specifically identified service integration as a means through which to improve transit and provide a viable alternative to the auto. More recently, however, experts have surmised that local strategies in the Metropolitan Areas (Mets) have yielded limited gains in the area of service integration, in contrast to the experience of London. While some politicians believe that re-regulation of the transit industry in the Mets would automatically resolve integration issues, interview results suggested that there are additional factors that keep transit providers from effectively collaborating with one another.
