(Strategic Enterprise Management Agency) under the Ministry of Finance. The client for the project is the Department of Railway. The department of railway will release the space above the rail track and the existing platform areas for these developments and they intend to appoint the central engineering consultancy bureau as the local consultant for the project. It is intend to call expression of interests from international investors by the SEMA. Their concept is to develop these stations as “podium tower concept” Request for proposal documents will be issued to the pre-qualified investors. In order to avoid possible delays in getting planning clearance for each site, the UDA has prepared basic guidelines and standards. Further SEMA made a request to the UDA to undertake approval for individual designs of re-development of railway stations by a committee appointed by the UDA without submitting applications to different local authorities to avoid possible delays. BACKGROUND Present issues The railway is greatly underutilized. it doesn't offer a cost effective and efficient mode of transport to passenger traffic. Lack of Parking facilities related with railway stations. Insufficient facilities exist for pedestrians - lack of pedestrianized side walks, crossings and vehicle parks No clear entry and exit points. Obstruction to free flow of busses and pedestrians. Poor platform arrangements. Underutilization of some platforms and poor surface conditions of platform areas. Poor internal circulation pattern. Lack of integration of different transport modes. Poor physical relationship between bus terminals and railway stations. Negligence of railway lands with higher commercial values. No provisions for future developments. PROPOSALS FOR IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS Providing of clear entry and exit points properly related with the city. Providing ample parking (both for commuters and taxies) Providing of physical and visual connections between railway stations and bus terminals. Introducing road side bus stops in places where having haphazardly developed bus stands Introducing of safe walkways, sidewalks, to improve the free flow of pedestrians. Providing required new linkages. Improving the physical conditions of platforms. Introducing economically and functionally viable developments related to the stations. Finally, stations along the coast should be the ideal transitional space between sea and the city.

  • CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area
    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs CoMTrans UrbanTransport Master Plan Final Report CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1.1 Definition The Western Province is the most developed province in Sri Lanka and is where the administrative functions and economic activities are concentrated. At the same time, forestry and agricultural lands still remain, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the province. And also, there are some local urban centres which are less dependent on Colombo. These areas have less relation with the centre of Colombo. The Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined in order to analyse and assess future transport demands and formulate a master plan. For this purpose, Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined by: A) areas that are already urbanised and those to be urbanised by 2035, and B) areas that are dependent on Colombo. In an urbanised area, urban activities, which are mainly commercial and business activities, are active and it is assumed that demand for transport is high. People living in areas dependent on Colombo area assumed to travel to Colombo by some transport measures. 4.1.2 Factors to Consider for Future Urban Structures In order to identify the CMA, the following factors are considered. These factors will also define the urban structure, which is described in Section 4.3. An effective transport network will be proposed based on the urban structure as well as the traffic demand. At the same time, the new transport network proposed will affect the urban structure and lead to urban development.

  • Battle of the “Species” to Play the Role of “National Bourgeoisie”: a Reading of Shyam Selvadurai's Cinnamon Gardens A
    9ROXPH,,,,VVXH9-XO\,661 Battle of the “Species” to play the Role of “National bourgeoisie”: A Reading of Shyam Selvadurai’s Cinnamon Gardens and Funny Boy Niku Chetia Gauhati University India Decolonization is quite simply the replacing of a certain “species” of men by another “species” of men. (Fanon, 1963) Fanon had quite rightly pointed out in his work, The Wretched of the Earth (1961) that during the colonial and post-colonial period, the battle for dominating, suppressing and subjugating certain groups of people by a superior class never ceases to exist. He explains that there are two species- “Colonisers” and “National bourgeoisie” of the colonised- who seeks to rule the country after independence. Though he places his ideas in an African context, his arguments seems valid even for a South-East Asian country like Sri Lanka. After colonisers left the nation, there emerged a pertinent question - Who would play the role of national bourgeoisie? The struggle to play the coveted role drives Sri Lanka through ethnic conflicts and prejudices among them. The two dominant “species” battling for the position are: Tamils and Sinhalese. Considering the Marxist model of society, Althusser in work On the Reproduction of Capitalism: Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses claims that the social structure is composed of Base and Superstructure. The productive forces (labour forces/working class) and relations of production forms the Base while religious ideology, ethics, politics, family, identity and politico-legal (law and state) forms the superstructure (237). The National bourgeoisie exists in the superstructure. Both the groups try to survive in the superstructure.The objective of this paper is to study Shyam Selvadurai’s Cinnamon Gardens and Funny Boy and excavate the diverse ways in which these two mammoth ethnic groups struggle to oust one another and form the “national bourgeoisie”.
