The transit system serving Greater Vancouver has high ridership and a high rate of growth. Using as a base the well-designed, well-patronized trolleybus grid in the City of Vancouver, an inter-connected suburban bus network has been created, with radial, cross-radial, and local routes meeting on a timed connection basis at suburban shopping centres and other foci. Planners' thoughts for the future include greater emphasis on the micro and macro aspects of land use and relations to transit; the use of capital intensive modes for heavy trunk routes; and the use of various forms of para-transit for low-density and certain feeder applications.

Semarang is the capital city of Central Java Province, as a metropolitan city, Semarang has the capablity to support the rapid development of the city , one of the evident is the highly of activity on physical infrastucture, one of them is the construction of residential areas along the high rate of population growth. Settlement area development activities emerge the negatively impact to reduce the existence of open space area. This study uses a quantitative method through positivistic approach. Research data presented by the form of figures and the analysis using the statistics. This study was first carried out in 2006 and 2011 to analyze the spatial through digitized the image map of Semarang, and the results of the digitization of spatial land area of open space and a residential area, which is used to formulate some stage subsequent analysis: 1) Identification and analysis of the influence of the development of residential areas against the open space in the city, 2) Analysis of the acceleration of the projected change of land per year in Semarang in 2006-2020, 3) Analysis of the application of open space 30% (sample in District Tembalang). The result of this analysis showed the relationship between the relevant mutual influence. The rate of population growth and development of residential areas with a relationship of mutual influence supply and demand. Then, as the development of residential areas causes the reduction of open space. In additon, the background of this problem is how to formulate the recommendations to control the land use plan , in order to create an ideal city land use in the future.

Urban shrinkage has become a common pathway (not only) in post-socialist cities, which represents new challenges for traditionally growth-oriented spatial planning. Though in the post-socialist area, the situation is even worse due to prevailing weak planning culture and resulting uncoordinated development. The case of the city of Ostrava illustrates how the problem of (in)efficient infrastructure operation, and maintenance, in already fragmented urban structure is exacerbated by the growing size of urban area (through low-intensity land-use) in combination with declining size of population (due to high rate of outmigration). Shrinkage, however, is, on the intra-urban level, spatially differentiated. Population, paradoxically, most intensively declines in the least financially demanding land-uses and grows in the most expensive land-uses for public administration. As population and urban structure development prove to have strong inertia, this land-use development constitutes a great challenge for a city’s future sustainability. The main objective of the paper is to explore the nexus between change in population density patterns in relation to urban shrinkage, and sustainability of public finance.

SynopsisThe paper is largely concerned with discussing what is a suitable valuation basis for deciding the rate of bonus an office should declare if it wishes to maintain this rate of bonus in the future as long as conditions remain reasonably stable.Because of recent developments, such as the substantial proportion of the assets now held in ordinary shares, the reverse yield gap, the present historically high rate of interest and the growth of immediate annuity and other single premium business, a net premium valuation in conjunction with assets at balance sheet values gives an inadequate view of the position of an office. With the advent of electronic computers a more realistic and comprehensive view is now possible, and the paper advocates a valuation of the liabilities on a modified bonus reserve basis with rates of interest and bonus the same as those implicit in the current premium rates, and a valuation of the assets at a notional rate of interest equal to the rate used in the valuation of the liabilities. The various problems arising in the valuation of assets, and especially of ordinary shares, at a notional rate of interest are discussed, and also the adjustments necessary if the assets and liabilities are not fully matched.The final decision on the rate of bonus to be declared must in the end be a matter of judgment, as it depends on many factors which cannot be accurately forecast, such as the future course of the rate of interest, the amount of new business and the rates of premium charged. Nevertheless, it is now possible to make this decision in the light of a very much fuller analysis of the position than has probably been made in the past.

Related to the theme of the future of living based on today, this research has a question about the problem that is the basis for today from 20 years ago to the present. This question can be related to the problem of the high rate of population growth in big cities which is not aligned with increasing social welfare, resulting in higher social inequality in society. Therefore, the term PMKS or people with social welfare problems emerged. This is of course related to words such as marginal, vulnerable, and exploitative, which are very appropriate terms to describe the conditions of the life of PMKS. In this case, most PMKS are based on the age point of 6-18 years according to data from the RI social welfare which is classified as street children. Outcast are children who are psychologically helpless, children who at some level do not have enough mentally and emotionally strong, while they have to deal with harsh street life and tend to have a negative effect on the development of their behavior and the formation of their personality coupled with a family background that has economic problems. Their existence is often seen and disturbs people in big cities in Indonesia. one of them is in the city of DKI Jakarta. In essence, all living things need a place to take shelter where they get protection from various threats, but they also feel safe and comfortable in a place (space). Is it possible that spaces with activities that encourage outcast to be independent will be formed so that they can reduce the social problems of outcast that exist today to create an independent dwell for them in the future?Keywords: dwelling; outcast; social welfare. Abstrak Terkait dengan tema soal masa depan berhuni berbasis hari ini, penelitian ini mempunyai pertanyaan akan masalah yang menjadi dasar sampai hari ini dari jangkauan waktu 20 tahun silam sampai dengan saat ini. Pertanyaan terebut dapat dikaitkan dengan masalah pada tingginya tingkat pertumbuhan penduduk di kota-kota besar yang tidak diselaraskan dengan meningkatnya kesejahteraan sosial, mengakibatkan semakin tingginya ketimpangan sosial yang terjadi di masyarakat. Maka dari itu muncul istilah PMKS atau penyandang masalah kesejahteraan sosial. Hal ini tentunya berkaitan dengan kata-kata seperti marginal, rentan, dan eksploitatif yang merupakan istilah yang sangat tepat untuk menggambarkan kondisi dari kehidupan PMKS. Dalam hal ini PMKS terbanyak berdasarkan segi usia 6-18 tahun menurut data dari kesejahteraan sosial RI yang tergolong sebagai anak jalanan. Anak jalanan adalah anak yang tidak berdaya secara psikologis, anak yang pada suatu taraf tertentu belum memiliki cukup mental dan emosional yang kuat, sementara mereka harus bergelut dengan kehidupan jalanan yang keras dan cenderung berpengaruh negatif bagi perkembangan prilaku dan pembentukan kepribadian mereka. ditambah lagi dengan latar belakang keluarga yang mempunyai masalah-masalah ekonomi. Keberadaan mereka sering terlihat dan menganggu masyarakat di kota-kota besar di Indonesia. salah satu nya di kota DKI Jakarta. Pada Hakikatnya semua makhluk hidup memerlukan wadah untuk bernaung dimana mereka mendapatkan perlindungan dari berbagai ancaman, namun mereka juga merasakan aman dan nyaman pada sebuah tempat (space). Mungkinkah ruang-ruang dengan aktivitas yang mendorong anak jalanan untuk mandiri akan terbentuk sehingga dapat meredahkan permasalahan sosial anak jalanan yang ada saat ini untuk terciptanya sebuah dwell yang mandiri untuk mereka di masa depan?

The paper analyses the underlying economic factors of the large cities, urban center in different geographical regions. It describes the ecological consequences of extensive land use in the urban region, determine the expenses of the city budget of the ecology related factors, such as trash collection and utilization, carbon emissions reduction, level of green areas, costs of their maintenance and sustainable development. The future projections are based on the Paris climate agreement and national or city level plan of sustainable development till 2035. The article deals with difference of income, land prices and land use models of the large cities, how they are different and like other metapolicies worldwide and in the geographical region. The paper examined the issue of how government regulate land use in the context of the large city, legal status of the cities and what role they pay in economic development. The determining economic principles that were introduced in this research are land prices for different use cases, such as industrial, commercial, and residential relative to general level of economic development of the city. Other key factors are rent prices withing the context of income and number of employees, corporations that operate in the city. Following cities Shanghai, New York, Mexico City, Paris, and Kyiv, were picked to analyze the land use patterns, ecology related expanse and future forecast modeling. In this paper we highlighted several key differences between those cities. Size of the urban land area and metropolitan areas are where most of differences are. While the geographical boundaries of the core city itself or the downtown areas produced similar results, regardless of the city geographical or economic development levels. Results of economic modeling of the ecological related budget spending, sustainable development 2035 plan, highlight that cities with larger budgets, such as NY city or Shanghai, spend relatively to the total sum less on the ecology, while cities that encountered with ecological problems, such as Mexico City, plan to spend more on the future sustainable development. At the same time, some cities in the countries that signed Paris agreement, do not have specific economical plans on future development, such as Kyiv.

In today's world, when it is so important to use every piece of land for a particular purpose, both economically and ecologically, identifying optimal land use is a key issue. For this reason, an analysis of the optimal land use in a section of the city of Olsztyn, using the L-system Urban Development computer program, was chosen as the aim of this paper. The program uses the theories of L-systems and the cartographic method to obtain results in the form of sequences of productions or maps. For this reason, the first chapters outline both theories, i.e. the cartographic method to identify optimal land use and Lindenmayer grammars (called L-systems). An analysis based on a fragment of the map of Olsztyn was then carried out. Two functions were selected for the analysis: agricultural and forest-industrial. The results are presented as maps and sequences in individual steps.
