This report provides a snapshot view of road safety conditions in
11 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) member
countries. It shows the status of key road safety issues in each
country, progress toward national policies, and the actions taken
toward achieving the objectives of the CAREC Road Safety Action
Plan. The information in this report will help development partners
identify priorities, resources, and possible actions to help CAREC
member countries improve road safety and reduce the financial and
human cost of road traffic accidents.

In an unusually systematic approach to the study of urban
politics, this study compares three different models of political
power to see which can best explain the development of the Bay Area
Rapid Transit System in San Francisco and the attempts of Los
Angeles to build a comparable system.

When the Clyde Ran Red paints a vivid picture of the heady days
when revolution was in the air on Clydeside. Through the bitter
strike at the huge Singer Sewing machine plant in Clydebank in
1911, Bloody Friday in Glasgow's George Square in 1919, the General
Strike of 1926 and on through the Spanish Civil War to the
Clydebank Blitz of 1941, the people fought for the right to work,
the dignity of labour and a fairer society for everyone. They did
so in a Glasgow where overcrowded tenements stood no distance from
elegant tea rooms, art galleries, glittering picture palaces and
dance halls. Red Clydeside was also home to Charles Rennie
Mackintosh, the Glasgow Style and magnificent exhibitions
showcasing the wonders of the age. Political idealism and artistic
creativity were matched by industrial endeavor: the Clyde built
many of the greatest ships that ever sailed, and Glasgow
locomotives pulled trains on every continent on earth. In this book
Maggie Craig puts the politics into the social context of the times
and tells the story with verve, warmth and humour.
This study assesses how the implementation of transit-oriented
development (TOD) can help address urban development issues in
India. In the context of metro rail systems, TOD has much potential
to promote inclusive and sustainable urban mobility. It can also
enhance the livability and resilience of cities through better
integration of land use policies and the development of the
transport network. TOD presents an opportunity to utilize land
value capture mechanisms to augment cities' finances. The study
seeks to understand key achievements and challenges of TOD
implementation in selected major cities in India. It also explores
why synchronized interaction between TOD measures and land use
regulations is essential to maximize the socioeconomic benefits of
metro rail investments.
