This book was released on 2015 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee examined a number of case studies during its inquiry including the Mersey Gateway Project, the Tyne Tunnels and proposals for new crossings in East London and the Lower Thames. The Transport Committee says a short-term approach to planning key infrastructure projects has left many estuary areas in the UK with inadequate transport capacity and poor connectivity: "A lack of cross-river capacity limits local and national economic growth so we call upon the Government to take a far more long-term approach when planning new bridges and tunnels. The Government must rectify that weakness as soon as possible. Important infrastructure projects, such as the Mersey Gateway Bridge, have the potential to generate economic growth by linking workers to jobs and consumers to retailers." The Committee welcomes proposals to build a package of new river crossings in east London and believes these developments are "long overdue."

Book Synopsis London's Turning by : Michael J. Rustin
Download or read book London's Turning written by Michael J. Rustin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thames Gateway plan is the largest and most complex project of urban regeneration ever undertaken in the United Kingdom. This book provides a comprehensive overview and critique of the Thames Gateway plan, but at the same time it uses the plan as a lens through which to look at a series of important questions of social theory, urban policy and governmental practice. It examines the impact of urban planning and demographic change on East London's material and social environment, including new forms of ethnic gentrification, the development of the eastern hinterlands, shifting patterns of migration between city and country, the role of new policies in regulating housing provision and the attempt to create new cultural hubs downriver. It also looks at issues of governance and accountability, the tension between public and private interests, and the immediate and longer term prospects for the Thames Gateway project both in relation to the 'Olympics effect' and the growth of new forms of regionalism.

Book excerpt: 考上初中，接觸英文後，就對它發生興趣，但當時並不很用功，及上高中，受 到良師的啟發，才對它下了工夫。這是後來選擇就讀外文系的原因。事實上， 筆者對文學毫無興趣，也無文學細胞，但對英文文法則情有獨鍾。大二上英文 文法與修辭課時，非常用功，曾蒐購國內外出版的文法與修辭書籍一百多本， 並花了相當工夫寫了一篇【英文冠詞之研究】的報告，送請恩師卓貺來教授指 導斧正。 對英文有興趣，是筆者從事外交工作的主要原因之一。但是，外交人員因派駐 國家使用語文之不同，或因工作需要之差異，並非都有常用英文或英語的機會。 有些同仁在國內外工作數十年，未曾寫過英文公文或書信，恐是外界人士所難 想像的。筆者算是較幸運的，曾駐劄日本、越南、美國、南非、德國及巴哈馬 等國，使用英文與英語的機會相當多，但每當提筆撰寫文稿時，仍不免有「書 到用時方恨少」的愧嘆！ 孔子說：「工欲善其事，必先利其器」。要寫好英文，必先學好英語；可是，要 學好英語並非一蹴可及。近年來，政府與民間各界都很重視英語，加上電子傳 媒非常發達，學習英語的環境已獲相當改善，所以國人英語水準的提升應是指 日可待。但是，要寫好英文，除了應先學好英語外，仍須備有完善的英文字、 辭典或其他參考書籍。目前坊間出版之英文字、辭典及參考工具書數量甚多， 但多因限於篇幅，所舉例句多嫌太過簡短，另或因編輯簡略缺陋，以致大多無 法滿足讀者學習或參考之需要。 民國六十五年間，友人借給 Terry L. Chow 中校所撰“Common Expressions for Written Communications”乙書，閱讀後發現該書內容簡潔實用，是一本很難得 的好書。但因該書例句內容偏重軍情事務，對一般人而言，參考價值似嫌不高， 筆者爰決定根據該書架構，重新加以改寫編輯。多年來乃於公餘之暇，大量閱 讀中外英文政經文獻，近年來更利用電腦上網搜尋，不斷蒐集相關例句，前後 費時約六載，終於日前一償夙願，寫成【英文寫作常用字彙與例句】乙書。本 書例句涵蓋我國「憲法」、「動員戡亂時期臨時條款」、「民法」與「國家統一綱 領」，以及「聯合國憲章」、「維也納外交關係公約」、「維也納領事關係公約」、「海 牙國籍法公約」與「中美共同防禦條約」等重要條文，並附有中譯，是編輯上 之另一特色。 筆者不揣鄙陋，抱持「愚公移山」的精神，編寫完成此書，架構完整，並附有 實用例句，應是進修英文者的可靠良伴，更是從事英文寫作或翻譯工作者必備 4 4 的工具書。付梓匆匆，漏誤必多，而魯魚亥豕，亦在所難免，尚請讀者先進不 吝惠予賜教，以供將來修正參考。是所至禱。 外交部領事事務局黃清雄及季韻聲二兄協助校對及指正，併此申謝。 潘 明(Gilbert M.

Download or read book Road Pricing written by Georgina Santos and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-07-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic congestion affects towns and cities everywhere and in some places it is regarded as one of the most urgent and important problems in need of a solution. Road pricing is undoubtedly recognised as an effective traffic demand management tool. The recent London congestion charging scheme seems to be showing that public and political opposition is not insurmountable. Thus, the ghost that prevented the introduction of a policy supported by transport economists for over 80 years seems to have disappeared or at least, weakened.The book contains twelve papers useful to different types of audience, such as researchers and postgraduate students, civil servants, policy makers and consultants. The first part is mainly theoretical and concentrates on second-best congestion pricing including pricing in urban contexts, the impact on the performance of the road network, optimal locations and charge levels, dynamic aspects such as time variation of tolls, potential impacts of road pricing on costs and service quality of public transport buses, and efficiency costs and transport sector effects of different types of pricing when they guarantee a balanced budget per mode.The second part contains chapters that describe the schemes in place around the world such as Singapore, Norway, London, and the US. The volume is an update of the state of the art on the subject and the first one to have been written and appear after the London scheme was implemented and to contain an assessment of its preliminary impacts.
Book Synopsis Improving Societal Resilience to Disasters by : Funda Atun
Download or read book Improving Societal Resilience to Disasters written by Funda Atun and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the outcomes of a study designed to explore ways of increasing resilience in a complex city system against disasters by focusing on the transportation system in London. A survey was undertaken comprising interviews with upper level decision makers as well as questionnaires to personnel in the field and the general public. The results of this survey are presented, together with a brief description of the past and current situation in the city with respect to transportation, flood risk and other vulnerabilities. The sources of problems in responding adequately to disasters are analyzed and important lessons drawn. In particular, it is explained how failures derive from insistence upon the application of written plans in preference over redefinition of strategies and priorities and how flexible systems represent a better approach to crisis situations. The book will be of interest to all who are concerned with disaster planning and management and the societal response to disasters.
Book Synopsis Urban Geography by : Michael Pacione
Download or read book Urban Geography written by Michael Pacione and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is an introduction to the study of towns and cities. The book synthesizes a wealth of material to provide a comprehensive introduction for students of urban geography, drawing on a rich blend of theoretical and empirical information, to advance their knowledge of the city. For the first time in the history of humankind, urban dwellers outnumber rural residents and this trend is destined to continue. Urban places, towns and cities are of fundamental importance: for the distribution of population within countries; in the organization of economic production, distribution and exchange; in the structuring of social reproduction and cultural life; and in the allocation and exercise of power. Even those living beyond the administrative or functional boundaries of a town or city, will have their lifestyle influenced to some degree by a nearby or distant city.

Book Synopsis A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain by : Owen Hatherley
Download or read book A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain written by Owen Hatherley and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in 1997, New Labour came to power amid much talk of regenerating the inner cities left to rot under successive Conservative governments. Over the next decade, British cities became the laboratories of the new enterprise economy: glowing monuments to finance, property speculation, and the service industry—until the crash. In A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain, Owen Hatherley sets out to explore the wreckage—the buildings that epitomized an age of greed and aspiration. From Greenwich to Glasgow, Milton Keynes to Manchester, Hatherley maps the derelict Britain of the 2010s: from riverside apartment complexes, art galleries and amorphous interactive “centers,” to shopping malls, call centers and factories turned into expensive lofts. In doing so, he provides a mordant commentary on the urban environment in which we live, work and consume. Scathing, forensic, bleakly humorous, A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain is a coruscating autopsy of a get-rich-quick, aspirational politics, a brilliant, architectural “state we’re in.”
