Download or read book Highways to the End of the World written by Edward Simpson and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that road-building was naturalised in the twentieth century to the point of common sense, integrating roadbuilding into a system of climate change denial hidden within a broad international development imperative. But if we can ‘read’ South Asian roads as forms of governance and knowledge, we can challenge the region’s established geopolitical narratives, and the idea of a never-ending future. Highways to the End of the World explores the political economy of these ideas by focusing on the history of this phenomenon, and on the road-builders of South Asia themselves. How do these flamboyant and controversial ‘roadmen’ think about their work and the future of the planet? What do roads do, and why? And how did they become central to the region’s nationalist and developmental projects in the first place? Simpson’s fascinating ethnographic account takes us from fume-filled toll booths in the heart of India, via overworked government offices in Pakistan, to pharaonic bridges in the Indian Ocean. Simpson follows the money, explores the politics of evidence, and argues against the utopian hyperbole of present-day ‘road talk’, finding both humanitarian crises and freewheeling international capital in the hedgerows. Roads have never been so interesting, or so controversial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the IENE Project Award 2016. This authoritative volume brings together some of the world’s leading researchers, academics, practitioners and transportation agency personnel to present the current status of the ecological sustainability of the linear infrastructure – primarily road, rail and utility easements – that dissect and fragment landscapes globally. It outlines the potential impacts, demonstrates how this infrastructure is being improved, and how broad ecological principles are applied to mitigate the impact of road networks on wildlife. Research and monitoring is an important aspect of road ecology, encompassing all phases of a transportation project. This book covers research and monitoring to span the entire project continuum – starting with planning and design, through construction and into maintenance and management. It focuses on impacts and solutions for species groups and specific regions, with particular emphasis on the unique challenges facing Asia, South America and Africa. Other key features: Contributions from authors originating from over 25 countries, including from all continents Each chapter summarizes important lessons, and includes lists of further reading and thoroughly up to date references Highlights principles that address key points relevant to all phases in all road projects Explains best-practices based on a number of successful international case studies Chapters are "stand-alone", but they also build upon and complement each other; extensive cross-referencing directs the reader to relevant material elsewhere in the book Handbook of Road Ecology offers a comprehensive summary of approximately 30 years of global efforts to quantify the impacts of roads and traffic and implement effective mitigation. As such, it is essential reading for those involved in the planning, design, assessment and construction of new roads; the management and maintenance of existing roads; and the modifying or retrofitting of existing roads and problem locations. This handbook is an accessible resource for both developed and developing countries, including government transportation agencies, Government environmental/conservation agencies, NGOs, and road funding and donor organisations.
Download or read book PAVEMENT ENGINEERING written by GOSWAMI, SANDIPAN and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In road projects, the pavement construction is very expensive and, therefore, the design and subsequent construction must make a proper balance between the cost and the sustainability. During the operation and maintenance period, the costs for routine maintenance (as and when pavement damage occurs) are to be kept as low as possible as there is less control towards cost of the periodic maintenance (mandatory at a contractual interval, normally 5 years). The reduction in cost for routine maintenance will relieve the project authorities from unexpected expenditures. This comprehensive text on Pavement Engineering is up-to-date with industry standards and best practices and offers an exhaustive coverage on design, construction and maintenance of pavements. The book has followed AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, 1993, besides meeting latest code provisions and pavement design methods recommended by Indian Roads Congress (IRC) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Download or read book Town Planning Scheme written by Narendra Patel and published by IndraStra Global. This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, India has witnessed rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. It is the world’s second-most populous country, with a population of 1028 million and, of this, 285 million (27.8%) live in its 7,935 cities and towns (as per census 2011). Economic reforms have given a push to the process of urbanization and it is expected that by 2050, half of its population will be living in cities and there will certainly be an increase in the number of cities and towns. The land available for development is scarce in cities, with serviced urban land being scarcer and mostly privately owned. It is therefore imperative to design a land management tool catering to both the existing developmental need and the future urban growth. Indian cities have the urban development planning process is done at a hierarchical level. Urban development is regulated to the macro-level plan by the Development Plan or Master Plan which is a statutory instrument to control, direct and promote the growth of the development and redevelopment of the urban area. The development plan is prepared with the view of achieving maximum social and economic benefits. A micro-level plan, on the other hand, indicates details and specific locations of various activities and facilities as suggested in the development plan. Therefore, town planning schemes are necessary for the implementation of the development plan.
