Therefore, it is considered to be one of the critical transportation infrastructure in the city of Toronto. The structure consists of 342 spans and 14 ramps and was built between 1950s and 1960s. This Highway named after Frederick Gardiner, the first chair of the now defunct Metro Council. (City of Toronto, n.d.) The elevated Gardiner was constructed between 1955 and 1966 and the deck concrete barriers is considered to be at the end of its service life. The decision for the Gardiner East -2.4-kilometre
WHICH THIS PROJECT HAS IMPACTED ON SOCIETY (TANG MING FEI) On May 1, 2004, the world’s first man-loading maglev train in Shanghai was officially put into service and it marks a new milestone in the history of world’s transportation technology. The Shanghai maglev train has shown its potential and possibilities in the aspect of future transportation system presented by the magnetic levitation technology in comparison to the traditional high speed trains on railways throughout the world. As the first
NEED OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR INDIAN CITIES Abstract Defining Sustainability The root of sustainability lies in the growing awareness about activities done by humans that result in depletion of natural capital at a rate faster than the rate of replenishment by nature itself. While no universal definition of sustainability exists, the concept of ‘intergenerational equity’ (Todd Litman & David Burwell, 2006) meaning ‘being fair to the future generations’ best defines it. On the broad
various sectors, including energy, transportation, production, farming, and even wastewater management sectors. A prolonged drought can wreak havoc on one or all of these sectors endangering the sustainability of a region. Droughts are often the result of a lack of precipitation and a lack of snowpack, especially due to the effects of climate change and global warming. Even though droughts cannot be prevented, it is important to evaluate the aggravating impacts of climate
Sprawl and its Environmental Costs and GHG Emissions Introduction Today, population growth has never been increasing so rapidly. Hence, there has been a continuous urban population agglomeration growth. Particularly in the Global South, many researchers have been projecting the world's total urban population would double by 2050. Consequently, challenges arise as urban growth increases. It is important to consider many aspects such as air and water pollution, providing adequate services and transportation

Furthermore, The Architectural design process of industrial buildings has no impact on Factory productivity and also its products' prices. So the purpose of this research was to define the Architectural design guidelines for the industrial buildings and study how it will achieve the principles of lean manufacturing and sustainability complementing with each other, considering these following effective factors; environmental, aesthetical, functional, economical, building operation and industrial production
minimise the ecological footprint in the nation, this is for the future generation. Many people define the term ecological footprints in different opinions according to what effect and good doe’s ecological footprint has. The Ecological footprint is the impact of human activities measured in terms of the area of biologically productive land and water, food consumption, electricity use required to produce the goods consumed and to assimilate the wastes generated. An Ecological footprint measures the supply
distribution of goods and low quality of service caused by a situation.Merit goods means are those goods and services that the government feels that people will under-consume.Such as health services and education. Health care is very expensive and individuals will provide health care through their income through an insurance policy. Low-income people without health care, government-provided private sector may not provide adequate quantity or quality of services to maintain a reasonable standard of living
