Infrastructure Read
Andrew J. Sparberg, a transportation historian, writes that “significant investment” is required in transit systems everywhere.
A reader says federal officials will never approve higher gas taxes, so alternatives are needed.
A tax proposal and administrative actions are an attempt to pay for roads, bridges, water systems and broadband networks without using any new federal money.
The discount afforded by one of the New York City area’s great travel bargains — crossing the Hudson River on the Tappan Zee Bridge — is likely to shrink, but no one can say by how much.
Man’s tendency to move began millennia ago, satisfying a basic need for food, shelter, clothing or social interaction. The uncertain path of road construction through the centuries is set forth by the primitive and everlasting need for mobility, trade and communication. In the era of engineering, and mostly technological boost, highways of the fourth generation ensure safe, fast and easy driving.
Japan now has one of the world’s most highly developed multimodal transport systems. This was only made possible by successfully building an extensive highway network in a short period of time. The two remarkable aspects of this network have been the scale and layout, which were based not only on traffic volume forecasts but also on the principle of equal access.
There has been rapid urbanisation in the cities of India which has led to an increase in demand for mobility. Public transport has not been able to satisfy the transportation needs of the population leading to rise in vehicle ownership. The huge numbers of private vehicles, heterogeneous traffic and limited road space have led to the problem of congestion on the Indian city roads. The situation is no different in Kolkata. Kolkata has a high population density.
Expectations that public–private partnerships (PPPs) in roads will alleviate time overruns and enhance project productivity in India have not materialised. Substantial delays in tackling the attendant risks in the life cycle of the road PPP have occurred presumably because of weak management control systems (MCS) to mitigate risks. Very little research has been done on the influence of MCS on productivity.
The present article attempts to show how distance from the urban centre plays an important role in transformation of infrastructure in the peripheral area of cities which is termed as urban fringe of Aligarh city. The distributional pattern of the indicators of infrastructure shows that their values decline along as we move from the city towards the peripheral area of an urban fringe. As we move from the centre of the city, the infrastructure facilities decline with the increase in distance.
With the enactment of Electricity Act 2003, competition in the Indian power sector received a new nomenclature and is considered instrumental in driving the sector in a sustainable trajectory. An exploratory analysis of the development of the electricity market is carried out to understand the finer nuances of emerging competitive paradigm of the sector, its critical aspects, evolving trends and patterns and future outlooks.
