Multimodal in rail development: popularity and reaping benefitsAtkins
Dr Ghassan Ziadat, Atkins’ director of planning and infrastructure, looks in depth at transport planning, multimodal transportation and transit oriented developments. Ghassan believes that clear government direction, through policy and legislation, remains essential to ensure the consistent and effective adoption of multimodal transportation and transit orientated developments (TODs) in the Middle East’s major cities.

Transit-oriented development (TOD): Integrating rail and commercial developme...Atkins
Atkins' technical director Jason Hutchings explores the ways in which cities across the world can gain maximum benefit from their investment in transport, commercial and civic projects through transit oriented development (TOD). TOD facilitates and encourages the use of public transport and provides alternative revenue streams for transport providers and operators, reducing their reliance on state funding for capital investment and operation/maintenance costs. It means transit systems are more popular, accessible and better connected for the commuting population, and commercial property development can be integrated and benefit from such a holistic approach to critical city centre locations. But TOD is not without its challenges. Atkins illustrates the issues and solutions across a range of international projects.
This presentation was first delivered in May 2013 at the 3rd Annual Modern Railways Conference, Singapore.

Deborah Fox, Head of Demand Management, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is Guest Speaker for a CILT Green Series webinar on Smart and Sustainable Mobility: Delivering Low Carbon Places
Despite growing attention to innovative mobility and disruptive technologies, there is a surprising dearth of literature on a quantitative approach to redesign of city building, particularly street and public space reallocation to accommodate these changes. Several strong and direct policies and creative redesign concepts were developed with the help of quantified mobility demand that enables comprehensive review, redesign and reallocation of public spaces to complement the city’s mobility needs. First, redesign existing curb space or lanes towards shared and sustainable mobility uses. Second, reallocate unused right-turn lanes to create space for short and easy access to shared mobility services. Third, reallocate corner spaces and reduce unused local street pavement to create parking laybys for priority users and shared mobility services. Fourth, reuse recovered corner space for publicly accessible bikeshare, enhanced waiting areas, creates places at every street intersection, and green, environmental friendly enhanced streetscapes. Fifth, develop partnerships with private property owners to redesign building frontages and parking spaces to create eco-mobility access points for multimodal options and maintain/operate services to provide access to residents and visitors while sharing unused parking spaces through connected technologies and the untapping of idle capacity. Finally, multimodal quality of service and risk indices were applied to quantify the service improvements of downsized intersections and streets, and frequent location of safe crossing.

This event highlights the importance of public communication and behavioural change surrounding road transport and air quality issues.
Keynote presentation given by Gyda Grendstad of the Norwegian Public Road Administration at the 2010 CABE Urban Design Summer School in Birmingham, UK.
In this edition the focus is Sustainable Urban Mobility. Our region has several good examples of how we can reduce the use of fossil fuels within sustainable urban mobility systems and create liveable cities. The Bulletin both provides examples of technical solutions and innovative campaigns from the UBC member-cities as well as displaying several externally co-funded mobility projects that covers a series of cities around the Baltic Sea Region.
In the editorial Mr Siim Kallas, EU Commissioner on transport and vice president for the EU Commission, stresses the importance of acknowledging also the economic benefits of developing sustainable urban mobility systems. He further on emphasise the necessity to stimulate markets that foster sustainable mobility supplies and the unpredictable future of fossil fuel as the dominant source for our vehicle fleets.

This webinar is intended to show how a “Smart Cities” approach contributes to achieving the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of countries and the reversal of Climate Change.
Urban growth, sustainability and needs for a greener life, are driving the requirement to make cities smarter, more efficient, and sustainable for their residents. The context is extremely challenging; characterized by growing commitments, limited resources aggravated by the COVID -19 pandemic.
Energy, Mobility, Building & Construction, Water & Waste Management assisted by New Technologies are the evolving battlefields of “Smart Cities,” as they strive to achieve the ambitious targets of a greener environment.
In this webinar Yohan Abrahams will show how Transport for London (TFL) pursues these objectives in the UK Capital, followed by Mark Cannata who will explain how Kassandra; a multi-dimensional research and design approach, is helping to take a whole-system view of the historic urban environment.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

2. Air quality: the challenge
u Research shows impacts of air pollution from
vehicles are wider and worse than previously
thought: linked to low birth weight in unborn
children, heart and lung diseases and
dementia
u Particulates and nitrogen oxides from diesel
exhausts – and also particulates from tyres and
brakes
u Concentrations in many cities exceed EU and
World Health Organisation standards
u Successive legal challenges by Client Earth
have forced UK Government to do more
u 33 cities now have to prepare plans for Clean
Air Zones, and 33 more have to prepare
feasibility studies
4. Transport has now overtaken energy
as the largest emitting sector in the UK
5. There is increasing pressure to tackle these issues
and they are now central to transport policy
6. City responses
Clean Air Zones targeting buses, taxis, vans and trucks
u Leeds and Manchester Clean Air Zones: charges
for non-compliant buses, taxis, vans and lorries
u Liverpool consulting on clean air polices
u Newcastle: consulting on a clean air zone with
charges or tolls on Tyne Bridges
And beyond that:
u “Zero emission zones”: electric vehicles only
(Oxford)
u Scrappage schemes or “mobility credits”
u Public transport improvements: bus priority routes
(Leeds and Liverpool), new rail and tram stations
u Cycling and walking networks – “School streets”
u Freight consolidation and management – first
and last mile
7. Link planning and transport: Transport for
New Homes research shows what to avoid
u Homes without connections for
pedestrians, cyclists and buses – “red
line” issues
u Public transport opportunities missed
u Importance of mixed land use with
local services and facilities –
Poundbury
u Need for urban quarters rather than
isolated developments
8. But better practice does exist
- Kirkstall Forge in Leeds and Maghull
North in Merseyside: new stations built
to serve new development
- Cobalt Business Park bus links
And further afield
- Kidbrooke: limited parking, places to
walk to
- Poundbury: 32% of residents walk to
work, local facilities
- Shawfair: built around station on
Borders rail
- Kilnwood Vale: extension to Crawley
Transport for New Homes charter; checklist
in preparation
9. New mobility options
u Car clubs
u Car sharing
u Journey aggregators: Sn-ap
u Bike share
u New mobility offers: “Mobility
as a Service”
u Demand responsive transport
10. Finance and funding: the workplace parking levy
uNottingham’s workplace parking levy:
uPaid by employers with 10+spaces
u£300 per space per year
uRaises around £9m a year for transport,
including trams and electric buses
u40% of trips in Nottingham are now by
public transport, highest levels outside
London
11. But may need to go further
Greater Manchester Environment Plan and Tyndall Research
- “carbon neutrality” by 2038
- Aviation emissions included in the national carbon budget
- Pathways towards net zero carbon set and monitored
These may require challenging decisions to keep within 1.5 degrees increase
or even higher limits
New roads, runways and other developments will face challenges
12. Conclusions
u New medical research shows issues with vehicle emissions, especially from
diesels
u Clean Air challenge for cities: and they are starting to rise to it
u Transport is biggest sector in UK emissions and action on climate change
will increasingly target transport
u New technology will help but won’t solve the problem
u There are options available and cities are starting to take them up
u Pathways to net zero carbon are available and cities – and the North -
need to map them and take action
