Download or read book Planning for Sustainable Urban Transport in Southeast Asia written by Dorina Pojani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By now, planners everywhere know - more or less - what the ingredients of a sustainable city are, in theory. The problem is that only bits of solutions are being implemented in the cities that most need them, the majority of which are located in the Global South. This book examines issues related to policy transfer in urban transport planning in Southeast Asia. The metropolitan regions of four major capitals - Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Bangkok - are considered. The book assesses the in-bound and out-bound transfer of sustainable transport planning policies, concepts, and tools. The investigation focuses on who transfers policy and why, what elements of policy are transferred, in what direction and to what degree, and what barriers does transfer face. It also discusses how policy transfer processes in the transportation planning arena can be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Canberra stands tall as the proud capital of Australia. Unlike its bustling counterparts Sydney and Melbourne, Canberra exudes a serene charm, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and political significance. As the epicenter of Australia's governance, Canberra plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation's identity and future. The inception of Canberra dates back to the early 20th century when Australia found itself in need of a capital independent of the dominant cities of Sydney and Melbourne. After much deliberation and debate, Canberra was chosen as the site for the new capital due to its central location and symbolic significance. Designed by American architect Walter Burley Griffin, Canberra was envisioned as a "city in the landscape," blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. One of Canberra's defining features is its harmonious coexistence of modernity and tradition. On one hand, the city boasts sleek skyscrapers, state-of-the-art institutions, and vibrant cultural precincts, reflecting its status as a dynamic cosmopolitan center. On the other hand, Canberra remains deeply rooted in tradition, with its iconic landmarks such as Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, and Lake Burley Griffin serving as enduring symbols of national pride and heritage. Beyond its urban facade, Canberra is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty. From the lush expanses of the National Arboretum to the rugged terrain of Namadgi National Park, the city offers a myriad of opportunities for outdoor exploration and adventure. Whether it's hiking along picturesque trails, picnicking by the shores of a tranquil lake, or marveling at the colorful blooms in Floriade, Canberra provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Above all, Canberra is synonymous with governance, serving as the seat of Australia's federal government. Parliament House, with its iconic flagpole towering over the city, serves as the focal point of political activity, where elected representatives convene to debate and legislate on behalf of the nation. Meanwhile, the various government departments and agencies scattered across the city contribute to Canberra's status as a hub of administrative power and decision-making. Canberra is much more than just a capital city, it's a living testament to Australia's past, present, and future. With its rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural wonders, Canberra invites visitors to embark on a journey of discovery and exploration. Whether you're strolling through its leafy boulevards, immersing yourself in its vibrant arts scene, or witnessing democracy in action, Canberra promises an experience like no other, an experience that captures the very essence of Australia's spirit and identity.

Download or read book Ypres written by Mark Connelly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1914, Ypres was a sleepy Belgian city admired for its magnificent Gothic architecture. The arrival of the rival armies in October 1914 transformed it into a place known throughout the world, each of the combatants associating the place with it its own particular palette of values and imagery. It is now at the heart of First World War battlefield tourism, with much of it's economy devoted to serving the interests of visitors from across the world. The surrounding countryside is dominated by memorials, cemeteries, and museums, many of which were erected in the 1920s and 1930s, but the number of which are being constantly added to as fascination with the region increases. Mark Connelly and Stefan Goebel explore the ways in which Ypres has been understood and interpreted by Britain and the Commonwealth, Belgium, France, and Germany, including the variants developed by the Nazis, looking at the ways in which different groups have struggled to impose their own narratives on the city and the region around it. They explore the city's growth as a tourist destination and examine the sometimes tricky relationship between local people and battlefield visitors, on the spectrum between respectful pilgrims and tourists seeking shocks and thrills. The result of new and extensive archival research across a number of countries, this new volume in the Great Battles series offers an innovative overview of the development of a critical site of Great War memory.
