This document discusses school choice options for New York State. It notes that per-pupil spending on K-12 education in New York is 92% above the national average, the highest in the US. It defines charter schools and vouchers, and outlines some commonly seen flaws with how voucher programs have been implemented in other states, such as requiring public school attendance first, being triggered by school performance rather than parental choice, and lack of controls that could lead to inflation of private school tuition prices. The document argues that a voucher or tax credit program for New York should allow immediate parental choice without prerequisites, apply universally rather than targeting low-performing schools, and use a graduated system so parents still have a stake in costs to avoid

Panama City has grown significantly over the centuries from its founding in 1519. As the capital and largest city of Panama, it has transformed due to capitalist growth and developments like the Panama Canal Railway in 1855 and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1903. Currently, Panama City faces challenges from uncontrolled urban expansion and lack of strategic planning. The Sustainable and Emerging Cities Initiative aims to help medium-sized cities meet sustainability challenges through analysis, prioritization of issues, and action planning. For Panama City, this involves focusing on integrated urban planning, quality public services, and modern management to guide sustainable long-term growth.
1) Nearly 4 billion people currently live in cities, with numbers expected to grow by 2.5 billion by 2050, primarily in Asia and Africa. These regions lack resources to adapt to rapid urbanization.
2) Cities in developing countries will face risks from climate change like flooding and disease due to lack of planning capacity as cities double in size every 15-20 years. Designing new, future-ready cities is necessary.
3) For cities to be sustainable and meet citizens' needs, planners must balance economic growth with human values by preserving cultural heritage, community ties, and considering all age groups, not just the economically productive.
Urbanization and the growth of cities is accelerating globally. By 2050, 75% of the world's population is projected to live in urban areas. Asian cities in particular will see huge growth, with China and India accounting for many of the fastest growing large cities. While Asian cities aim to become global cities on par with New York and London, many face challenges in building sufficient infrastructure and maintaining livability. However, the cultural vibrancy and economic opportunities of Asian cities continue to draw large migrant populations. Urban planning will be crucial for cities to manage issues around housing, pollution, and overcrowding that often accompany rapid urbanization.
Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina located on the eastern coast of South America near the Plata River. It has a population of over 2.8 million people with a high population density. The main sectors of Buenos Aires' economy are services and construction/finance. The city has developed an extensive transportation system including buses, trains, and taxis to support its large urban population. Municipal social services are divided into 16 zones to provide local support and encourage community participation.
Minneapolis, Minnesota is located on the banks of the Mississippi River. It has a rich water resources and was once a major flour milling center. The population growth of Minneapolis has increased the city's ranking among largest metro areas in the Midwest. Minneapolis fits the Burgess Concentric-Zone Model of urban land use with transportation networks radiating out from the central business district. Biking, walking, buses, light rail, and highways have all played important roles in the transportation system of Minneapolis throughout its development.
This document summarizes the establishment of a new Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in Sierra Vista, Arizona following the 2010 Census. It discusses how Sierra Vista became designated as an urbanized area, requiring the formation of an MPO to receive federal transportation funds. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of MPOs, including long range transportation planning for the region. It also notes the financial challenges facing MPOs and transportation agencies due to declining gas tax revenues and increasing infrastructure costs.
This document discusses a study analyzing the accessibility of public transportation for motor disabled citizens in Lisbon, Portugal. The study used a geographic information system to model Lisbon's public transportation network, including pedestrian, road, rail, and river networks. It evaluated the accessibility of subway and river stations, as well as bus routes. The goal was to understand where improvements are needed to accessibility infrastructure and services to increase mobility for motor disabled citizens. Key findings from municipal regulations and analyses of the multimodal network model identified accessibility problems and barriers that need to be addressed.
The National Capital Region (NCR), also known as Metro Manila, is located in the central part of the Philippines. It serves as the country's political, economic, social, educational, and cultural hub. The NCR consists of 17 contiguous areas that have grown from a small settlement on the banks of the Pasig River. It contains 14 cities and 3 municipalities and is home to many trading centers, shopping malls, educational institutions, and financial organizations. The NCR plays a dominant role in influencing the rest of the country.
This document contains a summary of two articles and citations for four sources related to urban planning and transportation issues. The main article summarized is by Donald Shoup discussing how minimum parking requirements imposed by cities actually hurt the poor. Shoup argues that by requiring free parking, cities subsidize car ownership which increases various social costs while raising costs for those who cannot afford a car. The cost of building the required parking spaces can exceed the net worth of many low-income households. The document also briefly summarizes an article about collaboration between LA Metro and the California High Speed Rail project to coordinate transportation and community development investments.
This document provides an abstract for an undergraduate thesis titled "A Dream Derailed: Public Transit Policy in Southeast Michigan, Late 1960s- Early 1980s" written by Mario Goetz for the Department of History at the University of Michigan in April 2015. The abstract introduces the thesis topic of examining the development of regional public transportation systems in Southeast Michigan between the late 1960s and 1980, a period when political support for transit was high but the region failed to implement an effective system. It argues that changes in federal policy opened a window of opportunity for regional transit reform that was ultimately closed by the loss of federal funding after the region could not unify behind proposals due to historical fragmentation, polarization, and other social and political factors.
The document provides information about the ancient city of Cahokia Mounds and the present city of Amsterdam. Some key details:
- Cahokia Mounds was a large, complex pre-Columbian Native American city located in modern-day Illinois near St. Louis, Missouri from around 600-1400 CE. It covered around 6 square miles and had around 120 earthen mounds, including Monks Mound, the largest in North America.
- Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Holland. It has a population of over 825,000 within city limits. The city has over 100 km of navigable canals that divide it into islands linked by over 1,

The Amazon region of Brazil has a low population density and faces social development challenges. Investment in telecommunications infrastructure could help boost economic growth in the region. Expanding broadband access by 10 percentage points could increase GDP by 1.21-1.38% in developing economies like those in the Amazon region. However, the region's low density, relief, and vegetation make telecom investment more complex with returns occurring over a longer period. Improved connectivity could benefit the population through access to agricultural information and financial services via mobile phones.
The document summarizes Peru's first truly interoperable mobile money solution called Bim, which aims to increase financial inclusion. A unique public-private partnership called Modelo Peru between the government, banks, telecoms, and Ericsson collaborated to design and launch Bim. Bim allows users across Peru's major mobile networks to deposit, withdraw, transfer money, and pay bills using their mobile phones, even without bank accounts or internet access. This partnership and interoperable platform could potentially provide secure financial services to millions of Peruvians, especially those in remote areas, and support Peru's socioeconomic development.
This document provides background information on auto rickshaws and their drivers. It discusses that auto rickshaws provide an important transportation service but drivers face many challenges including increasing costs, lack of benefits, and health issues from long hours of driving. The document examines the socioeconomic conditions and health problems of auto rickshaw drivers in Dombivli City in particular. It explores issues around their living conditions, income stability, and lack of access to government welfare programs and healthcare. The historical background section discusses competing claims about the origins of auto rickshaws, tracing them back to a German patent for a 3-wheeled vehicle in 1886.
Transportation And Its Effect On The WorldDiana Oliva
Transportation is essential to modern society, moving people and goods around the world. It stimulates economies and without it the world would collapse. There are three basic types of transportation: land, water, and air. Advances in transportation have changed how societies are organized and influenced development. In the past, people traveled on foot but ancient peoples developed early forms of water transportation like canoes. Now modern vehicles like cars, trains, planes have made transportation faster and connected the global economy.

(CASE STUDY BY CRISTÓVAM LUIZ)
INTRODUCTION
1. The city of Manaus
Manaus is a Brazilian municipality, capital of the State of
Amazonas and the main financial, corporate and economic
center of the Northern Region of Brazil. It is a historical and
port city, located in the center of the greater tropical forest of
the world. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Negro
and Solimões, being one of the Brazilian cities more known
world-wide, mainly for its tourist potential and ecotourism,
which makes of Manaus the tenth largest destination of
tourists in Brazil. It belongs to the mesoregion of the Amazon
Center and to the homonymous microregion, and stands out
for its architectural and cultural patrimony, with notable
museums, theaters, temples, palaces and libraries. It is
located in the extreme north of the country, to 3.490
kilometers of the national capital, Brasilia.
Teatro Amazonas, in Manaus.
Originally founded in 1669 by the Portuguese with the fort of São
José do Rio Negro, it was elevated to the village in 1832 under
the name Manaus, in honor of the indigenous nation of the
manaus, being legally transformed into a city on the 24th Of
October of 1848 with the name of City of the Bar of the Black
River. Only on September 4, 1856, it was renamed. It was
known in the early twentieth century, in the golden age of rubber, Attracting foreign

4. From the Manaus Free Zone::
The Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) is a model of economic development implemented by
the Brazilian government, aiming to provide an economic base in the Western Amazon, to
promote a better productive and social integration of this region to the country, guaranteeing
national sovereignty over its borders.
The most successful regional development strategy, the model leads to the region of its
scope (states of the Western Amazon: Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia and Roraima and the
cities of Macapá and Santana, Amapá) economic development allied to environmental
protection, providing Better quality of life for their populations.
ZFM comprises three economic poles: commercial, industrial and agricultural. The first had
a higher rise until the end of the 1980s, when Brazil adopted the closed economy regime.
The industrial is considered the base of support of the ZFM. The industrial center of Manaus
has approximately 600 high-tech industries generating over half a million direct and indirect
jobs, mainly in the electronics, two-wheel and chemical segments. Among the products
manufactured are: cellular and audio and video devices, televisions, motorcycles,
concentrates for soft drinks, among others. The Agricultural and Livestock Pole hosts
projects focused on food production, agroindustry, fish farming, tourism, wood processing,
among others.

5. Political proposals presented at the World Cup in 2014:
The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Sports, the Government of Amazonas and
the Municipal Government of Manaus, celebrated a document called the Matrix of
Responsibility, signed on January 23, 2010, in Brasília -DF.
It was publicly stated at the time that one of the positive aspects of this decision-making
would be the possibility of making significant changes in the Urban Mobility of Manaus,
under the terms of Clause Three - Responsibilities of Unitholders. During this period, a great
deal of information was conveyed on the prospects for the feasibility of installing subways,
Monorail, Cycles, etc.
During this period, the then Governor Eduardo Braga initiated a massive campaign in the
media, publicizing projects of urban interventions. This is how the records of the
government's intentions and of the various negotiations about the change in the matrixes of
the large transport system for the city appeared.
As regards the issue, there are records, which highlight the following:
The Manaus Monorail is a collective transportation system in design. With the start of
works scheduled for the second half of 2013, it will have 20 km and 9 stations and connect
the center of Manaus to the Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, at a cost of R $ 1.4 billion.

With the choice of Brazil to host the 2014 World Cup, several capitals have applied to be one
of the 12 venues of the games. The city of Manaus launched an application to be one of the
headquarters of the canopy in 2008 and within the proposal to host the games, studies were
begun for the design of a medium capacity collective transportation system. Following the
completion of the studies, the government of Amazonas presented the project of installing a
monorail line linking the center of Manaus to the Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, in the eastern
part of the city, passing through the future arena Arena da Amazônia. With fourteen
kilometers of extension and 5 stations, it would carry around 170 thousand passengers per
day, having been budgeted at R $ 850 million.
The project would evolve from the choice of Manaus as one of the headquarters of the World
Cup and the state of Amazonas would sign the document of Matrix of Responsibilities with
FIFA committing itself to improve the urban mobility of the city of Manaus.

9. The aspirations of the population:
Considering a metropolitan city embedded in the middle of the exuberant Amazon jungle,
with a population of more than two million inhabitants and with an industrial pole of the most
expressive of Latin America, being the sixth economy among the Brazilian cities, Manaus
