Volume 4: Policy and Planning
Drawing from case studies across the globe, this book explores how the pandemic and the policies it has prompted have caused changes in the ways cities function. The contributors examine the advancing social inequality brought on by the pandemic and suggest policies intended to contain contagion whilst managing the economy in these circumstances.
Índice de movilidad con base en la capacidad de soporte
Planificar el crecimiento urbano es mucho más que un requisito o un asunto técnico, es un acto de responsabilidad territorial con los habitantes de hoy y del futuro. Dentro de esa planeación, con miras a la construcción y el funcionamiento de ciudades más sostenibles, el transporte es un componente fundamental, sobre todo si tomamos en consideración la agenda global que busca mitigar el cambio climático y controlar sus efectos en diferentes ámbitos. Con el propósito de contribuir a dicha agenda, en este libro se propone una herramienta para la evaluación de la sostenibilidad (actual) y de la capacidad de soporte (futura) de los sistemas de transporte urbanos, con el objetivo de que permita comparar los avances de distintas ciudades, alertar sobre las perspectivas futuras y generar datos relevantes para priorizar actuaciones desde la gestión y la política públicas.
Huellas del comercio
El trabajo de Ana María Mesa constituye sin duda alguna un avance y un aporte de gran valor para la historiografía empresarial, en particular para comprender las transformaciones que experimentó la actividad comercial a raíz del desarrollo del sector externo a mediados del siglo XIX. En efecto, para el desarrollo del comercio al por mayor, que implicaba cubrir mercados cercanos y distantes, fue necesario desarrollar redes comerciales tanto en varias plazas del país como en Londres y Mánchester. El desarrollo de redes internacionales, sus agentes, las formas de pago con oro en polvo y en barras metálicas, así como el mercado en la capital británica, a donde llegó la mayor parte de las remesas de oro y plata, permiten entender el desarrollo del sector exportador y la forma como se vinculó el país con los principales centros mercantiles en el exterior
Restructuring Public Transport Through Bus Rapid Transit
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is increasingly being discussed as an affordable way for cities to build sustainable rapid transit infrastructure. This is the first book to examine the opportunities presented by BRT along with the significant challenges cities face in the implementation of successful systems. The difficulties can be myriad: new institutional relationships have to be developed among governments, operators, and the public; projects have to be designed and implemented to handle large passenger flows in the most efficient manner possible; and these changes are not taking place on a blank slate, but within existing transportation systems, political and cultural contexts, and urban development patterns. Addressing these challenges from an international perspective and across a range of disciplines, from urban planning to public policy and economics, contributors offer technical solutions to specific problems and identify what still needs to be done to realize their vision of global sustainable transport.
