Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-Speed Rail Cities and Regions: José Maria de Ureña, Chia-Lin Chen,... Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-Speed Rail Cities and Regions
José Maria de Ureña, Chia-Lin Chen, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Roger Vickerman
R1,216 Discovery Miles 12 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-speed Rail Cities and Regions evaluates the varied experiences that HSR systems have brought about to different station-cities and their regional territories around the world, with an eye towards better future planning and policy of such systems. This edited volume draws from examples of high-speed rail operations in different cities in Europe and Asia to depict the various impacts of this major transportation infrastructure. It attempts to distinguish the short- and long-term impacts described in the literature, classifying them into regional and inter-urban effects, urban effects, and wider economic impacts. Planning challenges appear at two major points: 1) during the initial planning stage that includes the route and location of stations; and 2) during the development process that follows. The case studies in the book concentrate on a variety of topics from the impact of high-speed rail on population growth in some station-cities, to the regional economic impacts that an HSR system can bring about to the larger territories it passes through, to the potential of station-cities to better attract firms, or to experience increases in tourism and commerce. They also assess planning strategies and experiences from station-cities to draw lessons for future HSR planning policies. The Chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of European Planning Studies.

Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China (Hardcover): Chia-Lin Chen, Haixiao Pan, Qing Shen, James J Wang Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China (Hardcover)

R6,283 Discovery Miles 62 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Since 1978, when China embarked on a new period of economic reforms and introduced open door policies, it has experienced a great urban transformation. The role of transport has proved indispensable in this unprecedented rapid urbanisation and economic growth. As the first research-focused book dedicated to this important topic, the Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China offers new insight into the various opportunities and challenges brought by fast-paced motorisation and urban development, and explores them in broad spatial-economic, environmental, social, and institutional dimensions. This collection is an informative and comprehensive reference for researchers and academics at all levels studying transport, urban planning, and geography. It will also help practitioners and consultants gain a deeper understanding of policy development and best practices, and international and domestic policy makers will find guidance in the implications and lessons proposed for future transport research, policy, and practice. Contributors include: M. Cao, X. Chen, C. Curtis, X. Fu, Y. Gao, Y. Gao, D. Gong, R. Hickman, S. Huang, Z. Kang, M.-P. Kwan, C. Liu, Y. Liu, P. Newman, Z.-R. Peng, D. Pojani, B. Quan, J. Scheurer, Y.

Pursuing Sustainability - OR/MS Applications in Sustainable Design, Manufacturing, Logistics, and Resource Management... Pursuing Sustainability - OR/MS Applications in Sustainable Design, Manufacturing, Logistics, and Resource Management (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Chia-Lin Chen, Yihsu Chen, Vaidyanathan Jayaraman
R3,962 Discovery Miles 39 620 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This handbook includes three parts, corresponding to the following three domains of OR/MS research related to sustainability: (i) Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology, (ii) Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation, and (iii) Sustainable Natural Resource Management. The first part of the handbook (Chapters 2-6) will focus on the creation and development of sustainable products, services, value chains, and organizations from a systems perspective. Key areas to be covered include Green Design & Innovation, Technology and Engineering Management, Sustainable Value Chain Systems, Sustainability Standards and Performance Evaluation, and Circular Economy and New Research Directions in Sustainability. The second part of the handbook (Chapters 7-11) will concentrate on the major operational and logistic issues faced by today's industries in pursuing sustainability. Key areas to be covered include Remanufacturing, Reverse Logistics, Closed-Loop Supply Chains, Sustainable Transportation, and New Research Directions in Green Supply Chain Management. The third part of the proposed handbook (Chapters 12-16) will center on major sustainability issues in managing engineering infrastructure and natural resources. Key areas to be covered include Renewable Energy, Sustainable Water Resource, Biofuel Infrastructure, Natural Gas, and New Research Direction in Sustainable Resource Management. The handbook aims to bridge the three main OR/MS research domains in sustainability: "Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology," "Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation," and "Sustainable Natural Resource Management." Traditionally, these domains are treated separately in the OR/MS literature. By combining the three domains, the handbook will provide a more holistic treatment of MS/OR methodologies to address critical sustainability issues faced by today's society. Unlike most existing handbooks which only focus on current OR/MS research in sustainability within a domain, this handbook will include a concluding chapter in each of the three parts to discuss and identify potential future research directions in each of the three main domains.
