The City

Raigarh city is an expeditious growing industry as well as the populated city in Chhattisgarh (INDIA), spread over an area of 7086 Km2. Raigarh city is classified by its rising Population, Urbanization, Motorization, Pollution, and low per capita income. The rapid rate of Industrialization and Urbanization in the past few decades has led to unprecedented growth in the city population and subsequently in the city limits. A lack of proper planning and land use controls has resulted in fast extending beyond city areas. The objective of the paper is to understand the growth patterns of Raigarh City and the existing transportation networks to plan and phase out a proper TOD network by understanding the present scenario of the traffic condition of the city and identify the parameters necessary for the implementation of TOD at Raigarh City. The proposal of the state government in setting up Naya Raigarh involves the transformation of old Raigarh into a better-planned and laid-out city. Expansion and redevelopment of a city require proper research and planning in laying out the transportation network of the city to ensure equitable access of public transportation to all, bringing in the concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD).

This chapter assesses the roles played by New York governor Nelson Rockefeller and New York City mayor John Lindsay, as well as William Ronan, in transforming the transportation system. Ronan, Rockefeller, and Lindsay all realized that improving public transportation was critical to strengthening the economy of the city and the region. They were also well aware of the benefits of a Second Avenue subway, since all three of them lived on the Upper East Side. After Lindsay failed to reorganize the transportation agencies, Rockefeller and Ronan developed their own grand vision for the region's transportation network, and in December of 1966, Ronan stepped down from his post as secretary to begin implementing their plan. At the beginning of the state's 1967 legislative session, Rockefeller and Ronan announced their two-pronged approach. First, they proposed integrating the New York City Transit Authority and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA) into the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA). In addition, Rockefeller and Ronan would seek voter approval to borrow $2.5 billion that would be dedicated for roadway and public transportation improvements across the state. In 1967, the governor and Ronan obtained the support they needed to transform the transportation network, a feat that Lindsay had not been able to accomplish.

Abstract. Due to increasing human population, the need for quality public transportation has also increased. This study takes stop density, stop layout, and passenger population of those stops into consideration to offer a better regulated public transportation network design that can satisfy the increased demand. In this study, the boarding data is provided by the public transportation department of the city of Antalya, Turkey. Remaining required data was automatically generated using web services and stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on a cloud server. After visualizing inputs such as bus routes, stop layout, and passenger density on Google Maps and KeplerGL, with the use of the K-Means algorithm, data was clustered to find ”hot” (i.e. attraction) areas on a macro scale. A novel means of connecting hot spots suggested by the outcome of the Genetic Algorithm was developed. To compare the effectiveness of the proposed approach with the existing network, current bus stops were mapped to the new domain. It was observed that a more efficient system was achieved by higher route efficiency and lower transfer counts.

While the squares have been in the network of relations with the political, social and religious structure of the society since the early days of history, today, they have been associated with the cars, speed and technology in the process formed with the modernization movement. In some squares, there are tramways, public transportation routes and stops, and there are also motor vehicles. The squares have turned into places where there is a continuous flow with fast traffic except for waiting at the bus stops and railway station. With this change, our needs also changed, and with the introduction of motor vehicles in our lives, the squares remained as neglected urban spaces in an effort to create a transportation network. The use of the squares belongs to the period in which people have habit of being together, but now squares use belongs to a period in which we are not together even if we are side by side. Within the scope of this study, nowadays, approaches and practices for the squares that is an urban space in the world have been investigated. According to the results of sections, the criteria for evaluating the completeness of the city-square relationship in today’s conditions are set out in a table. The selected from the Trafalgar Square, Bryant Park and Taksim Square samples consecutively examined in the context of these criteria.

As cidades médias se destacam pelo seu caráter dinâmico, centralizador, atrativo de mercadoria, serviços e pessoas. A cidade de Montes Claros, localizada no norte de Minas Gerais, tem demonstrado tais características através do intenso fluxo de viagens demandado pela população aos Polos Geradores de Tráfego. Nesse cenário, necessita-se de um modo capaz de suprir a carência de transporte das pessoas, de maneira segura, econômica, sustentável e racionalizando. O ônibus, gerido por meio de diretrizes do Estado, se apresenta como melhor opção em relação aos automóveis particulares, uma vez que reduzem congestionamento e exercem papel social. Nessa perspectiva, o presente trabalho analisa a acessibilidade por transporte público coletivo ao polo gerador de tráfego (Escola Estadual Professor Plínio Ribeiro), localizado na Avenida Mestra Fininha, número 1225, bairro Jardim São Luiz, em Montes Claros – MG. Essa análise leva em conta o tempo de viagem (tempo de espera e tempo de percurso) por transporte público com ligação direta a escola e utiliza Sistemas de Informações Geográficas para armazenamento, processamento e espacialização dos dados coletados. A partir daí, sugere-se o nível de acessibilidade dos moradores da cidade de Montes Claros à escola Estadual Professor Plínio Ribeiro, o qual se mostrou com melhores resultados na área central e, quase sempre, reduziu-se à medida que se aproximava das regiões periféricas.

The average city of Montes Claros, located in the north of Minas Gerais, has shown such feature by intense displacement flow demanded by the population Polos traffic generators. In this scenario, you need is a modal capable of filling the transport of persons, safe, economical, sustainable and rational manner. The bus, operated by state guidelines, is presented as the best option in relation to private cars, since they do not cause congestion and exert social role. In this perspective, this paper analyzes the service by public transportation to the pole traffic generator (State School Professor Plinio Ribeiro), located on the promenade Master Slim, number 1225, São Luiz Jardim, in Montes Claros - MG. This analysis takes into account the travel time (waiting time and travel time) by public transportation with direct connection to school and uses Geographic Information Systems for storage, processing and spatial distribution of the data collected. From there, it is suggested that the level of accessibility of the residents of the city of Montes Claros State Teacher Plinio Ribeiro school.  Keywords: Medium Cities. Collective Public Transport.

In the last decade light rail transit systems have become a popular mode of public transport in many cities around the world to upgrade the existing public transportation network, but also, and perhaps more importantly, to support neoliberal urban development strategies. The paper takes its starting point in the growing critical literature discussing the politics of light rail and related transport infrastructure projects in the context of neoliberalism. The paper uses the case of Aalborg, Denmark, to demonstrate how light rail projects are embedded in particular infrastructure imaginaries, which reflect wider political agendas of promoting urban development and economic growth. In the case of Aalborg, the city’s spatial strategies have played an important role in constructing an imaginary of the city as the region’s ‘growth dynamo’, which in turn have led to a growth-fixated conceptualisation of the city’s spatiality, and contributed to rationalising the need for investments in light rail. The paper argues that light rail projects are first and foremost politically rationalised as important investments for facilitating urban development and supporting entrepreneurial city strategies of urban and economic growth, whilst their social objectives of providing affordable public transportation play a less prominent role in the contemporary imaginary of the city.

Free-floating carsharing systems (FFCS) have become a new type of urban sustainable mobility, much more flexible than the previous station-based carsharing but limited by on-street parking availability and managed by municipal administrations. Literature on FFCS until now mostly relies on survey-based methodologies and simulations, and little research on FFCS has been devoted to the scientific analysis of real flows using revealed web-based data. This paper contributes to the existing literature with an analysis of FFCS trips using rental data collected directly from operators’ websites, paying special attention to the most frequent trips. The added value of this research is that it provides the first analysis of the more FFCS demanding districts in the city of Madrid. The results showed that the main origin and destinations points were concentrated in low populated and high-income districts that also had good parking availability and connectivity to the public transportation network.

<p class="Abstract"><em>The city of Jakarta is famous because the traffic jams, so the transportation sector needs special attention. Based on data from the Jakarta Transportation Management Agency, of the 47.5 million trips in Jakarta City, only 24% used public transportation. The Jakarta City Government has provided public transportation modes, namely the MRT. This mode of transportation offers a basic concept of TOD, area around the 400 meter buffer from the station can be accessed by walking. This concept has been developed in various cities on the Continent of Europe and America. The space conditions in a TOD based area can be assessed using the TOD Index measurement. Each TOD Index criterion has its own indicators. This study uses 8 criteria and 18 indicators that can measure the value of the TOD Index at each MRT station. Processing data is using spatial processing so that each indicator can be analyzed holistically from a spatial perspective. The TOD area of Bendungan Hilir Station is a station with the highest TOD value, amounting to 0.71. TOD Station in Lebak Bulus Station takes the lowest TOD Index value of 0.31. The TOD Index’s value at each station can be influenced by the weight of each indicator and criteria. Through this research, it is hoped that each policyholder can pay attention to every indicator on the station that is deemed necessary to be improved if needed for a TOD-based area that is in accordance with the concept of a smart city.</em></p><p class="Abstract"><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> TOD, space, TOD Index, smart city, 6Ds</em></p>

Title: The Development of Suburb Residential Area Based on Transit Oriented Development (TOD) The rapid growth and development of the city has impacted on the increasing of city population and traffic density which lead to various urban problems. The development of suburbs as a satellite city is considered as an appropriate solution to reduce the main city‘s load. This area could be developed into residential uses to provide living area for commuters. The railway that connects Solo and Wonogiri is considered as a major potential to create the integration between Solo as the main city and other areas as regional supports. Pasar Nguter Station is located on the route of Solo-Wonogiri railway and has great potential. The aim of this research is to examine and explore possibilities of Pasar Nguter Station to be developed as residential area based on Transit Oriented Development (TOD). This research will assess the existing condition surrounds Pasar Nguter Station based on the principal aspects of TOD such as mobility, land use, intermodal network, etc. to analyze the gap between existing and ideal conditions to formulate the most appropriate regional development strategy.

Foreign visitors discovering a new country usually start by looking at a map of the place; they identify its regions and their characteristics; they try to acquire a mental chart of the new country. Naturally, they have to choose a city or cities in which they are going to spend long stays. Only in those specific places, the visitors will try to learn about the specifics: street names, places of interests, public transportation network, convenience stores, and so on. In this chapter, a general map of the structural mechanics (the “country” in which the reader of this book is going to “reside”) is first presented. Next, the theory of frames (the “city” that the reader of the book is going to know very well) is placed in this general context. After reading the chapter, the reader will slowly improve his/her knowledge of the specific topic until becoming an expert in the theme. It is fair to say that the theory of frames is equivalent to a Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or a Paris in France or a Saint Petersburg in Russia.
