The article describes the construction of a unique bridge crossing in Dubna, Moscow Region. Design work started at the beginning of the 2000s. Several options were suggested, clients and design companies changed several times. In 2016, the construction of the bridge crossing over the Volga started. “Institute Giprostroymost” JSC was chosen as a general designer. A range of engineering surveying was carried out and work paper was worked out by the company. The location of the city on the banks of the Volga determined a sustained transport problem. The shortest crossing of the right and left banks was provided by Ivankovskaya hydropower plant. Actual traffic capacity of the crossing was not enough, and this led to regular traffic congestion. The nearest bridge was situated at the distance of 30 km, in the town of Kimry in the Tverskaya Region. The transport infrastructure situation hampered the development of the “Dubna” special economic zone of technology and innovation type which includes an innovation territorial cluster of nuclear-physical and nanotechnologies as well as the city of Dubna itself. Transport accessibility to the Federal Data Processing Centre of the Federal Tax Service of Russia was also limited. The bridge crossing has 4 lanes and consists of motor road approaches and a highway bridge. Shipping length of the bridge with approaches is 1939,93 m. Shipping length together with the length of the ramps is 2997,99 m. Total length of the bridge crossing accounts for 1 166,25 m. Central navigation span is 168,0 m. The construction of the bridge crossing was carried out within the minimum time limit. 24 months after the erection of the bridge started, in November 2018, the bridge was put into operation.

Transport issues in urban centers are rising at an exponential rate and are characterized by congestion, high motorized vehicles growth, vehicular and noise pollution, road accidents and parking space constraints. Present public transport and Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) modes are inefficient and do not cater to the needs of 31.23% of urbanized population in India, which is poised to grow up to 71% by 2031 (MoUD, 2015). Lack of accessibility in public transport and NMT has compelled commuters to opt for private transport modes such as twowheelers and cars, in order to have access to work, education and other leisure activities. The paper aims to assess the finances allocated to urban transport system in the city of Pune under the jurisdiction of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). The authors intend to critically review the city budget and its contribution to sustainable modes of urban transport. The key research questions are: - a) whether the budget distributes enough revenue to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of public transport modes and NMT as guided in the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) of 2006? b) does the local government continue to invest in temporary urban transport solutions catering to the needs of private modes of transportation? The results further show that PMC’s budget allocation is not favoring sustainable modes of transport as much as it is catering to other urban transport infrastructure and utilities. The paper concludes with recommendation on ways of innovative financing methods to make public transport sustainable and discusses various case studies of best practices followed globally pertaining to sustainable urban transport system.

The research is based on secondary budget data of the year 2016-17 and the data so collected, has been analyzed on various financial parameters. The results show that PMC’s budget allocation is not favoring sustainable modes of transport as much as it is catering to other urban transport infrastructure and utilities. The study thereby suggests sufficient allocation of the city’s budget towards the creation of sustainable transportation. Lastly, the paper concludes with recommendation on ways of innovative financing methods to make public transport, sustainable and discusses various case studies of best practices followed globally pertaining to sustainable urban transport system.

Statement of the problem. Using the example of the leading construction organization in Voronezh, the article analyzes the shortcomings of the implementation of urban development projects and considers ways to solve them. Recently, the state of the natural environment of our cities has become a more urgent problem. This analysis will help designers in solving the problems of improving the architectural quality of the environment of new residential areas of the city of Voronezh. Results. As a result of the review and analysis of a number of implemented objects and the object planned for construction, ways to improve the architectural and artistic image of new districts are proposed, taking into account the features of the existing urban environment of Voronezh and current trends in advanced urban planning.Conclusions. Since any developer is primarily interested in the economic benefits of construction, he cannot express the true interests and needs of citizens, follow the historical traditions of the city. In the first stages of design, work should be performed on a competitive basis by order of the municipal authorities, even if the developer is the owner of the site intended for construction. The best project should be put up for auction among developers, providing the winner with the right to build in this territory.

The transport network of cities can be represented as a complex of streets and passages, as well as elements of public transport infrastructure unconnected with the street and road network. It is reasonable to represent the real network in the form of a simplified network based on graph theory to analyze the properties of the transport network. There are various methods of network connectivity assessment, including those based on various indices. According to all indicators in the street and road network of the city of Petrozavodsk it is necessary to increase the number of units. The implementation of recommendations for changes of the street and road network of the city of Petrozavodsk will reduce traffic congestion, the number of accidents and transport expenses. It is recommended to use the proposed method to assess and improve the street and road network of cities.

In modern conditions an important activity in the tourism industry of the Russian Federation is studing tourism markets for domestic tourism, attracting tourist flows in the small towns Russia through the development of new original sightseeing tours and tourist routes, the creation and development of innovative tourism infrastructure. According to the concept of the modern suburbs, great attention is paid to the development of priority points to attract tourists and tourist resources of the most important destinations in the region. In Moscow suburbs, there is a tourist route "Gubernskoe ring Moscow region" and twelve "points of attraction" for tourists – "The 12 pearls Moscow region." In accordance with the existing tourist resources Kolomna is related to the "South" zone of Moscow region with specialization: cultural, educational, pilgrim, scientific, educational, business and event tourism. Kolomna is one of the oldest cities in the Moscow region, which is included in "Gubernskoe ring Moscow region" and "The 12 pearls suburbs." Tourism products offered by travel companies in Kolomna, are very diverse: from a stationary rest with a rich excursion program to the programs presented by hunting and fishing tours, hiking trails, extreme and ecological tours with resting in picturesque places. Kolomna has a considerable potential and resources to enhance its attractiveness to tourists, primarily it is a large number of historical monuments. However, to use them in full the necessary measures is to improve the organization of tourist businesses in the city. To this end, should be developed programs of creating urban tourism clusters; and tourism organizations should study the demand and offer new themed tours and excursions, especially given the historical part of the city and the possibilities of its transport infrastructure (particularly water ways).

Beijing, the capital of China, is increasing enormously relative to its economy, pollution, population and dependency on private vehicles. Most of the Chinese cities are built and being built as a car-centric city. Six million cars are registered in Beijing, and with passage of time the attraction of private vehicles increases. Increasing in infrastructure the selection towards private vehicle is boosting. Municipality of Beijing is busy to use the conventional ways to solve the congestion problem rather than the smart solution, what megacities need to adopt. Beijing is second-worst in length of communing time.   This paper addresses the traffic congestion problem in the central part of the Beijing by using “Mixed Use Small Block Concept”, where the network of roads spreads like veins in a human body, and the accessibility around center is dependent on vehicle. The aim is to recover the areas from cars and give it to residential and improve their accessibility by changing the mode of travel from car to walking and cycling, and provide clear boundaries and redesign the area by using Small Block Mixed use concept. Combining the public transportation, urban planning design and Non-Motorized Transportation priority will lead the city towards livability.The right to access every building in the city by private motorcars actually the right to destroy the city.” Mumford.

Состояние проблемы. В последнее время состояние удобства среды обитания современных городов становится более актуальной проблемой. Проделанный анализ поможет проектировщикам в решении задач улучшения архитектурного качества среды новых жилых районов г. Воронежа. Результаты. На примере деятельности ведущей строительной организации Воронежа анализируются недостатки реализации градостроительных объектов и рассматриваются пути их решения. В результате рассмотрения и анализа ряда реализованных объектов и объекта, намеченного к строительству, предлагаются пути улучшения архитектурно-художественного образа новых районов с учетом особенностей сложившейся городской среды Воронежа и современных тенденций передового градостроительства. Выводы. Поскольку любой застройщик заинтересован прежде всего в экономической выгоде строительства, он не может защищать интересы и потребности горожан, следовать историческим традициям города. Следовательно, на первых стадиях проектирования работы должны выполняться на конкурсной основе по заказу муниципальных властей, даже если застройщик является собственником участка, предназначенного под строительство. Лучший проект должен выставляться на торги среди застройщиков, обеспечивая победителю право строительства на данной территории. Statement of the problem.

The concept of rationalization can be defined as a structured process to increase effectiveness through a maximize use of existing resources. Rationalization in terms of road infrastructure or systems can be achieved in various ways; establishing hierarchy of routes, optimize bus-stop points with density distribution changes, proper integration of motorized and non-motorized transport and providing policy framework. In the highly densely populated city of Dhaka, rationalizing public transport is one way to minimize the mismatch between demand and supply. This paper is concerned with the following issues: providing a general description of the city transport system, identifying problems and demands analysis in the area of study area; studying the rationalization of  public transport, particularly public transport system design (routes and their categorization) and proposing the creation of a multimodal hierarchical transport network for Dhaka. The findings suggest establishing a major component, a hierarchal-network. Beside establishing network hierarchy, rationalizing is also interdependent upon system planning, institutional framework, organization and financing, terminal locations, public-private relationships, government roles, policies, service integration, and the management of public transport. This is can be accomplished by all stakeholders sharing the relative success and failure, depending different levels of each components’ performances. The findings of this paper will help planners and decision makers to optimize the investment in the transport infrastructure.

Lampung is the southernmost province on the island of Sumatra, Lampung is the gateway to land and sea transportation from the island of Sumatra to the island of Java. Lampung has a provincial capital, Bandar Lampung. Bandar Lampung, which is the center of the city, certainly does not escape traffic congestion. This location is a trading center area in the city of Bandar Lampung. Ki Maja street is located around the front of the Chamart Way Halim up to the front of the Lampung Bank Halim Way and there are many access roads to the right and left of the road so that in the morning many vehicles enter and exit the access road. In the study of the Effects of Side Barriers on Traffic on Ki Maja street in Bandar Lampung City, a conclusion can be drawn, namely the highest traffic volume of 223.25 smp / hour at 16.00-17.00 WIB. Ki Maja street Bandar Lampung City is 179.2 pcu / hour at 07.00-08.00 WIB. From the results of the highest regression modeling is the combination of Monday and Saturday using the SPSS program obtained a positive regression model on the influence between Monday stop / parking vehicles and Saturday stop / parking vehicles with traffic volume, namely: by 29% on Ki Maja street City Bandar Lampung. Then the regression equation is obtained as follows Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 = 171,446 + 0.310X1 + 0.407X2 With a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.290. Keywords: Side Barriers, Road Performance.
