The Swedes could not say why. Perhaps long-distance commuters tend to be poorer or less educated, both conditions that make divorce more common. Annie Lowrey, formerly Slate’s Moneybox columnist, is economic policy reporter for the New York Times. Commuting is a migraine-inducing life-suck—a mundane task about as pleasurable as assembling flat-pack furniture or getting your license renewed, and you have to do it every day. In the past decade or so, researchers have produced a significant body of research measuring the dreadfulness of a long commute. First, the research proves the most obvious point: We dislike commuting itself, finding it unpleasant and stressful. That unpleasantness seems to have a spillover effect: making us less happy in general. Long commutes also make us feel lonely.
La ville à venir tant que l'on ne pense pas à construire entre deux planètes, ou jusqu'à lier une planète et son satellite (ce qui veut dire avoir plus de matériau ) disposition que ceux disponible sur la planète) tout est possible. Alors voici une petite lettre à mon ami Stiltifi sur la ville à venir. Si pour Nouvel il n'y a plus de nouveaux emplacements humains ou villes nouvelles (sauf la nouvelle capitale de la Corée concours sur lequel il s'est jeté paradoxalement, sauf la nouvel capital de feu Turkmenbachi, concours remporté par Pei devant Derbesse puis Koolhaas). Je me permettais cette petite introduction pour poser la question des villes et de . Autre monument selon moi à mes yeux d'une grande importance non pour la forme mais pour ce qu'il déployer comme recherche et modification profonde de l'humanité (à côté l'observatoire de Gauss) : HOTEL and CONVENTION CENTRE in AGADIR by REM KOOLHAAS Agadir, Morocco, 1990 (Competition)
Community Cycling Center » Understanding Barriers to Bicycling In 2008 we asked ourselves whether we were having the impact we hoped to have in our community. We looked at our programs, our partnerships, and our people and we came to a conclusion: we could do better. We could do better to understand the needs of our program participants, which are predominantly low-income and communities of color. We could do better to increase and improve programs serving a culturally diverse community. So we developed the Understanding Barriers to Bicycling Project, a community needs assessment, to better understand what were people interested in and concerned about as it related to bicycling. Since completing our Understanding Barriers to Bicycling Project, we have fundamentally changed the way we work.

Northern Virginia ITS Architecture DETAILS KonSULT Welcome to KonSULT, the Knowledgebase on Sustainable Urban Land use and Transport. KonSULT is designed to help policy makers, professionals and interest groups to understand the challenges of achieving sustainability in urban transport, and to identify appropriate policy measures and packages. It also provides detailed information on individual policy measures which will be of relevance to professionals, researchers and students. The current version has been developed under the European Commission’s CH4LLENGE project to help cities identify the most effective policy measures and packages as input to their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. It contains three levels of information: Measure option generator: the Measure Option Generator allows cities quickly to identify those policy measures (or “instruments”) which may be of particular value in their context. Policy Guidebook: a Policy Guidebook provides information on each of the policy instruments available to urban transport planners.
URBANISM / Mondialisation and weltstrassifaction in France. Dear Felllows, Koolhaas as he was a journalist, made by his questions, Constant writing in 1969 about Airport influence on urbanisation of a city or better on a Metropole. You certainly all lives in a Metropoles in the differents corners of the Earth. So I will try to tell you about French cities actuality. Paris 2025 : Perhaps you know a little about the differents projects from Le Corbusier in 1922 and in 1925 up to the Plan Voisin, which talk about the center of Paris evacuated from its old buildings except along the Seine. About a realisation of an University built up in inspiration from the Unitary Urbanisme of Constant. It is Saint-Denis University, but this frame of buildings is not connected with the express circular underground I talk about in last link. Marseille 2013 : It is the same things with Marseille. the population reacts like in Hausmann while (1852-1869).
Curitiba's Bus System is Model for Rapid Transit | Urban Habitat Bus systems provide a versatile form of public transportation with the flexibility to serve a variety of access needs and unlimited range of locations throughout a metropolitan area. Buses also travel on urban roadways, so infrastructure investments can be substantially lower than the capital costs required for rail systems. As a result, bus service can be implemented cost-effectively on many routes. Yet, despite the inherent advantages of a bus service, conventional urban buses inching their way through congested streets don’t win much political support. The essence of a Bus Rapid Transit is to improve bus operating speed and reliability on arterial streets by reducing or eliminating the various types of delay. The bus system of Curitiba, Brazil, exemplifies a model Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, and plays a large part in making this a livable city. Buses running in the dedicated lanes stop at cylindrical, clear-walled tube stations with turnstiles, steps, and wheelchair lifts.
