Abstract:

Face of China's urban problems, we have been thinking how to build a healthy and livable city. The City of Waterloo in Canada, a modern version of Garden City, has given us some inspirations. Briefly summarize the situation of Garden City and the City of Waterloo, analyze detailed why we say the City of Waterloo is Garden City of the 21st century, and point out that they are the same in essence, which is a city with the advantages of both town and country. It shows that it is not impossible to build a healthy and livable city with both advantages in the contemporary. Finally, give a clear explanation of inspirations to the construction of Chinese cities from the City of Waterloo. The inspirations are the followings. The layout of city should conform to the nature; City should give priority to green traffic; Urban commercial, culture, and other service facilities may lay out with appropriate centralized and decentralized; Open Space should retain appropriate original landscape.

Abstract:

The article provides a comparative analysis of international and Russian experience in the transformation of railway terminals. International practice places intermodality or functional compatibility of vehicles as the key element of the modern transport system in the framework of the “City-hub” “door-to-door” project. Specific examples of large intermodal stations in Europe and China are given. In Russia, the regulatory framework and most scientists focus on the reconstruction of existing railway station complexes and the creation of transport hubs based on them. Examples of transport interchange hubs in the city of Moscow are given. Based on the analysis, conclusions on the formation of intermodal transport interchange complexes in Russia are formulated.

Abstract:

Currently undergoing rapid growth due primarily to a thriving tech sector, the Waterloo Region is increasingly concerned with the attraction and retention of key labour talent. Aspects of the creative economy, such as vibrant cultural scenes, nightlife, public spaces, and leisure amenities have been specifically identified by key stakeholders as vital to the continued growth and success of the region. While creative people certainly live and work in the Waterloo Region, labour shortages linked to challenges of worker attraction and retention indicate that the current talent base is not sufficient to meet regional economic needs. In this article, we engage critically with creative economy typologies which have been taken up in local cultural planning and explore some of the gaps and oversights that such ‘one-size-fits-all’ creative city models have in medium-sized post-industrial urban centres. Analyzed through the lens of cultural mapping methodologies, the region offers a valuable case study as it works to rebrand itself, altering its cultural fortunes through concerted city-building efforts.Keywords: cultural mapping, scenes, liveability, urban planning, vibrancyRésumé: La région de Waterloo est préoccupée et ce, de manière croissante, par l’attraction et la rétention d’une main-d’oeuvre qualifiée en raison notamment de son prolifique secteur des technologies. Les aspects culturels de l’économie créative tels une vie culturelle riche, la vie nocturne, les espaces publics et les équipements de loisirs ont été identifiés comme des éléments essentiels par les parties-prenantes de la région comme des éléments essentiels au succès de la région. Alors que des acteurs de l’économie créative résident effectivement dans la région de Waterloo, la pénurie de main-d’oeuvre associée aux défis de l’attractivité et à la rétention du talent laissent entendre que les efforts actuels sont insuffisants pour rencontrer les besoins de la région. Dans cet article, les typologies de l’économie créative d’usage dans la planification culturelle locale seront abordées afin de mettre en relief les failles et lacunes de certains modèles peu adaptés aux espaces urbains de taille moyenne et aux centres urbains de type post-industriel. En se basant sur la méthodologie de la cartographie culturelle, cette étude de cas de la région offre plusieurs constats utiles à la compréhension des stratégies de production d’image de marque au niveau régional.Mots clé: cartographie culturelle, scènes culturelles, habitabilité, planification urbaine, dynamisme

Abstract:

The government of Indonesia plans to build new airport that is located in Temon Sub-district, Kulon Progo Regency. However, the distance of the airport is quite far from the center of Yogyakarta City, therefore it is necessary to build a railway that functioned as a connector. The operating airport railway would then means an Airport Railway Station that is located in the center of Yogyakarta City, in order to accommodate the fluency of railway operation. This paper is intended to give information on the layout design, and also the location of Airport Railway Station in the center of Yogyakarta City. To generate layout of railway that is integrated with Tugu Railway Station of Yogyakarta, the methods used were: determining the station classification, determining the zone, the circulation and wayfinding, so that the passengers could move fluently. Based on the analysis result, the Airport Railway Station has categorized a large class station, with its location was designed separately from the Tugu Railway Station, but integrated with 52 meters long tunnel in south of the Airport Railway Station. The layout design of the Airport Railway Station was designed to be two levels and with two platforms with land necessity of 9100 m2, and was predicted to serve 515 passengers per rush hour.

Abstract:

Between 1912 and 1925, the Ontario communities of Kitchener and Waterloo experienced two distinct phases of city planning ideas and proposals. The second phase, in which Thomas Adams and Horace Seymour were the professional planners, led to the adoption of Canada's first urban zoning by-law. Stages in the planning process have been reconstructed, mainly from research in records of the municipal councils and boards of trade and from the daily newspapers. The emphasis is on local perceptions of planning, planning as an issue in local politics and the interaction between outside planners and the local community. Themes include the significance of key individuals and the press in leading public opinion, the reluctance of municipal councils to antagonize the voters, and recurrent suspicions of the motives of those who advocated planning. The case-study also illustrates the diffusion of ideas about planning, as of other aspects of urban reform, from large metropolitan centres to smaller cities, and the transition in these derived concepts from "City Beautiful" ideals to political realistic type of plan.

Abstract:

Transport and mobility in cities are important factors in the sustainability of the urbanized world. This article investigates one type of intra-urban transport: railway transport and the surrounding areas along the railway, i.e., whether railway corridors can be a factor in the sustainable development of cities in the 21st century. The aim of the article is to determine specific characteristics of railway corridors and identify problems and cultural-historical specifics related to the industrial cultural heritage of the railway. The article examines the importance of an integrated approach to the planning of railway corridors and emphasizes the importance of multicriteria analyses in the decision-making process for corridor areas. As a case study, the city of Osijek is selected because in the past the railway strongly influenced its economical and urban development. Concretization and specification methods applied to the city of Osijek prove that railway corridors can become factors of the sustainable development of cities. The article proves that railway corridors have the potential to transform sustainable urban development because they pass through central, often historical, city areas, they occupy large surfaces and have a long linear spatial continuity. The scientific contribution of the article is the identification and systematization of the contribution of the transformation of railway corridors to the sustainable development of cities.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the importance of greenway applications in planning studies has increased to meet the increasing environmental problems in cities, the loss of open spaces, and the increasing need for recreation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate within the scope of the greenway about the part of 11 km of the Çankırı railway passing through the city center by considering the planning and design dimension. The research was carried out in four stages: literature review, analysis of natural and cultural landscape characteristics, preparation of a conceptual plan, and design suggestions. The area has a straight aspect, the slope is 0–3%, and it is an alluvial structure. It was determined that there are registered historical buildings, but structural areas are intense. According to plan, a green area and a bicycle path arrangement was proposed at the side of the railway. Also, along the existing road routes, a walking or bicycle path was proposed to provide connection between open green areas in the city. In the design process, appropriate landscape design solutions were developed for the station area, and it was proposed that street area and some intersection points be pedestrianized.

The final chapter ofVanity Fair's account of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo opens with a scene of public panic in the streets of Brussels. As French cannons sound just outside of the Belgian capital, Thackeray captures the chaos that ensues as the English men and women, who have accompanied the army to Brussels and remained in the city during the battle, begin to receive reports that Napoleon's forces have defeated the Duke of Wellington's army and are marching on the city. Rumor reigns in Brussels as the English civilians seek out one another for increasingly inaccurate reports on the French progress towards the city, and civil tranquility collapses as the public consensus becomes that French forces will soon invade.

Abstract:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic that was reported at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China, and was rapidly disseminated to all provinces in around one month. The study aims to assess the changes in intercity railway passenger transport on the early spatial transmission of COVID-19 in mainland China. Examining the role of railway transport properties in disease transmission could help quantify the spatial spillover effects of large-scale travel restriction interventions. This study used daily high-speed railway schedule data to compare the differences in city-level network properties (destination arrival and transfer service) before and after the Wuhan city lockdown in the early stages of the spatial transmission of COVID-19 in mainland China. Bayesian multivariate regression was used to examine the association between structural changes in the railway origin-destination network and the incidence of COVID-19 cases. Our results show that the provinces with rising transfer activities after the Wuhan city lockdown had more confirmed COVID-19 cases, but changes in destination arrival did not have significant effects. The regions with increasing transfer activities were located in provinces neighboring Hubei in the widthwise and longitudinal directions. These results indicate that transfer activities enhance interpersonal transmission probability and could be a crucial risk factor for increasing epidemic severity after the Wuhan city lockdown. The destinations of railway passengers might not be affected by the Wuhan city lockdown, but their itinerary routes could be changed due to the replacement of an important transfer hub (Wuhan city) in the Chinese railway transportation network. As a result, transfer services in the high-speed rail network could explain why the provinces surrounded by Hubei had a higher number of confirmed COVID-19 cases than other provinces.

Abstract:

Abstract Vegetated roof technologies are used as treatment measures to mitigate the effects of urban stormwater. A mass balance approach was used to assess the treatment performance of a vegetated roof located on the City Hall in Waterloo, Ontario. The vegetated and control roof sections were instrumented to measure precipitation, storage, and outflow for 18 storm events from June to October, 2006. Concentrations of suspended solids, total phosphorus (TP), and SRP (SRP) in precipitation and roof (vegetated and control) runoff were measured. A total of 155.6 mm of rain fell during the study period. The vegetated roof retained 64.5 mm (43.9%) of the total rainfall while the control roof retained approximately 5.1 mm (4.0%). For individual rain events, the vegetated roof retained an average of 3.5 mm (47.6%), while the control roof retained approximately 0.3 mm (4.7%). Water retention varied with storm size, season, and frequency of storm events. The vegetated roof retained 80.1% of precipitation for storm events ≤3.5 mm, and 34.9% for storm events >3.5 mm. TP and SRP concentrations from the vegetated roof were significantly higher than either the precipitation or runoff from the control roof.

ABSTRACT:This article examines how the management of railway traffic was problematized in urban plans for colonial Delhi after the 1890s. It reveals how Delhi was reconstituted as a space of circulation in municipal plans attempting to combat railway-induced ‘traffic congestion’. Yet, even as new gardens, localities and footpaths were envisaged as enabling smooth flows of traffic and generating a commercially healthy city, policing anxieties and concerns over political security dominated in such plans. Finally, this article shows how the process of railway-inspired ‘urban planning’ was itself driven by a contestation between different ‘scales’ of the colonial state.

Abstract:

An appropriate infrastructure is required to efficiently meet the mobility needs of citizens and the needs of business in the implementation of transport processes. This infrastructure must be taken care of by local authorities and other entities. Hence, the role of local government cannot be overestimated in this respect. The development of the rail transport infrastructure should not lag behind the development and changing needs of the city. Adequate development of the railway infrastructure makes it possible to increase the competitiveness of rail transport in cities and agglomerations, both in respect of passenger and freight transport. The article examines the current state of the railway transport infrastructure in the city of Poznań and in the Poznań agglomeration, paying attention to the potential of its use in the above mentioned transport groups. The aim of the author is to indicate the problems faced by the city today and the directions of railway infrastructure development in the city.

ABSTRACTSingapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) railway system is a highly effective and rather inexpensive way of getting around the Lion City, although locals sometimes complain about overcrowding in the carriages and about noise levels experienced in apartment blocks situated near the lines. Generally speaking, passengers are well provided with information too, including maps of the MRT system in the stations, screen data about train arrivals, and clearly enunciated announcements (in English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil) inside the carriages about upcoming stations and connections. However, one quibble can be raised about the English version of these announcements, which sometimes features the verb ‘to alight’. This is explored.

Abstract:

This paper first introduces the inter-city railway settlement observation implementation scheme, and then makes a statistics analysis on the monitoring data of Wuhan to Xianning inter-city railway. The conclusion is as follow: the main factors that influence the precision of settlement observation are the misclosures of direct and reversed observations, if they are both at a certain range, all monitoring points’ mean square errors of height would reach 0.1mm. Finally summarizes some methods that can improve the precision of settlement observation, in the actual work they make very good effect.

Abstract:

This study investigated whether and to what extent does the High-Speed Railway (HSR) affect city-level housing prices. With the data of HSR operation and housing prices from 285 cities from 2009 to 2017, the paper aimed to estimate the quantitative relationship between HSR and city-level housing prices and exploited city and regional dummy variables to assess the disparities between regions, followed by the economic effects between typical city pairs. Our findings were as follows: (1) The introduction of HSR leads to a 13.9% increase in city-level housing prices, and the figures for national central cities and regional central cities were 31.7% and 19.6%, respectively; (2) regional imbalance was mitigated with the development of the HSR, and some central cities in underdeveloped regions were stimulated with regard to housing price growth; (3) siphon effects and diffusion effects were observed in megacity–small city pairs, while synergistic effects often lay in megacity–megacity pairs, and such effects all tended to be more significant with increases in the number of HSR lines and a drop in the travel time.

Abstract:

Intra-city railway areas are deemed large greenspaces and are believed to be key in enhancing the diversity and dynamics of urban flora. In the current study, the floristic composition and diversity along intra-city railway and tram tracks in Alexandria were surveyed. The floristic composition of the plant communities in relation to environmental factors, ecological indicators, and level of human impact was analyzed using multivariate analysis (two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) for classification and detrended correspondence analysis (DECORANA) for ordination. The multivariate ordination techniques (CCA) revealed differences in the environmental factors and climatic factors influencing the floristic composition of the railway and tram track habitats. Tram tracks suffered higher human impact while maintaining higher vitality and cover compared to train tracks. Species recorded were mainly therophytes, followed by phanerophytes and hemicryptophytes dominated by native species; however, invasive species’ contribution was higher compared to surrounding regions. The number of invasive species was greater in railway areas compared to tram track areas (19 and 15, respectively). The occurrence of two endemic species (Sinapis allionii and Sonchus macrocarpus) with limited national distribution highlights the importance of these habitats as valuable refuge areas for rare and endangered species worthy of conservation action.

Abstract:

The invention and proliferation of railways around the world emerged from the need for transport networks that would facilitate the movement of industrial goods produced during the Industrial Revolution. They were introduced to the Anatolian region in the late–Ottoman period and gained importance as an indispensable part of the internal market in a new nation-state, the Republic of Turkey. Thanks to its location on the Silk Road, Gaziantep city in the southeastern part of Turkey, has always been a particularly important node on commercial routes. The present study describes the introduction of railways to Gaziantep province and the effects of Gaziantep Railway Station on the city at an urban and structural scale. Although the first city plan was the Barsumyan–Nazaryan Plan (1920s), the railway system was introduced as a design object to Gaziantep City in the Jansen Plan (1938) and followed by the Aru–Söylemezoğlu Plan (1950), Gaziantep Plan (1973), and Oğuz Aldan Plan (1990). It can be concluded that its late introduction to Gaziantep delayed its integration with the transportation network covering other Anatolian cities at an urban and spatial level from an urban design perspective.

Abstract:

The goal of this work is to apply the idea of the city in 15 min to railway stations that can become the starting point of the analysis as they represent the “gateway”, where users start their last mile of travel after getting off the train. Within the research, 11 railway stations located in the Lombardy Region in Italy were identified and analyzed. To perform the analysis, an analytical index was implemented and determined for each station: this index summarizes the main features of the station itself in relation to the territory in which it is located. The adopted approach is comparative: it is not important the absolute value of the index of each station, but the comparison between the different indices. In this way it is possible on the one hand to classify the stations and on the other hand to identify and propose possible interventions to improve the role of a railway station in a territory. The proposed model is expandable and replicable: it is possible to add other useful indicators for the calculation of the index of each station and it is also possible to perform the analysis in different territorial contexts. In fact, it is a decision support tool able to provide indications and information for the planning and programming of the railway system and of the city; among the potential users of the proposed model there are railway station managers and administrations.
