Book excerpt: The implementation of metro line 2, now under way, will provide a modern, 35 kilometer mass transit axis linking major population and job centers in Lima, the capital of Peru, with Callao to the west, the country's chief seaport and international airport. Integrated with the Lima-Callao region's existing public transport network, line 2 will create a major corridor that will improve the accessibility of jobs, services, and markets for 2.3 million people and provide a backbone for more efficient urban development. Beyond the investment loan, this co-financed project is an outgrowth of a long term metropolitan transport strategy and multifaceted engagement that is aligned with the World Bank's goals of reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity through sustainable development. It will give a boost to the competitiveness of the entire Lima-Callao Metropolitan Region, which has a population of more than 9 million and constitutes more than one-third of the national economy.

Book excerpt: As urban transportation deteriorates, chaos increases putting aside urban patterns, systems and networks to prioritize the implementation of modern technologies. As a consequence of this situation and as a means to fulfill the requirements of the growing city, the larger built forms in the city are put in the spotlight and made busier and more complex. The connectivity that once ordered the transportation networks throughout the urban form diminishes, almost vanishes. There are different scales of movements, at different paces and levels (in all three dimensions), which need to be understood in order to get a good reading of the activity of the city. The site is located in the district of San Martin de Porres in the city of Lima, Peru and this thesis aims to fill the existing void represented by it in its context. It also aims to reconnect and re-vitalize the area of study by using transit-oriented development and spatially identifying elements. Another goals is to meet the needs of transportation networks and people through spatial relations, so as to generate a prototype that establishes processes and results to promote urban growth. This thesis presents the possibility to synthesize such movements (now scattered and unintelligible) and to provide a space for the junction and strengthening of the existing links between people and transit that occupy the urban landscape. The implementation of a Multimodal Passenger Terminal to serve both local (urban) mass transit and regional transportation is the main compositional element of the project. This will be complemented by other programmatic elements such as: a civic plaza and a communal green space, a series of smaller, more intimate open spaces, community services, retail and office space, movie theaters and a hotel. They will as a whole serve as supporting activities for the area and as a point of destination for the neighbors. The analysis of the transit network - regional and local - as well as of the area's land use and green space systems will allow for the better understanding of the context and will set the stage for the remainder of the study. Pedestrian behavioral patterns in the area also provide necessary information that is used to determine accesses and paths or concentration points in the project. The resulting elements are distilled and categorized into several design guidelines and are placed in a timeline for phased development. A series of organizational and distribution diagrams have been produced to reflect the findings. All of these could serve as a starting point for future development in other locations with similar conditions in the city or the country. They could be used individually or jointly depending on the demands and needs of the project, the people, the existing systems and the site, at a given time.

Book excerpt: A continuous requirement for better urban transport systems and the need for a healthier environment has resulted in an increasing demand for new solutions. Innovative systems, new approaches and original ideas need to be thoroughly tested and critically evaluated before they can be implemented in practice. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration with telecommunications systems and IT applications in order to improve safety, security and efficiency. This volume also addresses the need to solve important pollution problems associated with urban transport in order to achieve a healthier environment. The variety of topics covered by the included research works, which were presented at the 26th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment, reflect the complex interaction of urban transport systems with their environment and the need to establish integrated strategies. The goal is to arrive at optimal socio-economic solutions while reducing the negative environmental impacts of current transportation systems.
Download or read book Connecting to Economic Opportunity The Role of Public Transport in Promoting Women s Employment in Lima written by Daniel Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limited access to safe transportation is one of the greatest challenges to labor force participation faced by women in developing countries. This paper quantifies the causal impacts of improved urban transport systems in women ́s employment outcomes, looking at Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and elevated light rail investments in the metropolitan region of Lima, Perú. We find large gains in employment and earnings per hour among women, and not for men, due to these investments. Most of the gains arise on the extensive margin, with more women being employed, but employment does not appear to be of higher quality than that for comparison groups.We find also evidence of an increase in the use of public transport. Results are robust to alternative specifications and we do not find evidence that they are driven by neighborhood composition changes. Overall, these findings suggest that infrastructure investments that make it more convenient and safer for women to use public transport can generate important labor market impacts for women who reside in the area of influence of the improved infrastructure.
