INTERNATIONAL PROJECT FINANCE AND PPPS. A LEGAL GUIDE TO KEY GROWTH MARKETS 2012 Edited by: Jeffrey Delmon, Victoria Rigby Delmon November 2011,  ISBN 9041136754 ISBN 13: 9789041136756 Paperback USD price: $338.00            DESCRIPTION TABLE OF CONTENTSRELATED PRODUCTS Infrastructure drives economic growth, jobs, quality of life, health and welfare, but public mechanisms for delivering infrastructure services face particular challenges of efficiency and politicized decision making.. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), if well designed and implemented, can provide Governments with more efficient, more effective, better managed, more transparent and more competitive sources of infrastructure services, financed through new sources of funding. International Project Finance and PPPs: A Legal Guide to Key Growth Markets provides a summary of the key legal issues relevant to PPP and project financing in strategic growth markets. Each summary is prepared by top rated legal practices, with extensive experience in commercial and financial law, and at the forefront of PPP and project finance in their respective jurisdictions. The legal issues addressed highlight the most fundamental legal concerns that investors will have with the enabling environment when contemplating a PPP in a growth market, for example: ; asset ownership; tariff and regulatory regimes; penalty regimes; corporate structures; foreign ownership restrictions; dispute resolution mechanisms; and the creation of security rights. The sixteen countries represented were selected for their current pipeline of projects and their growth potential. They are Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Romania, Russia, South Korea, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda, UAE, the USA, and Vietnam. This guide offers investors, lenders, consultants and Governments a practical, accessible and substantive resource, a survey of applicable law at your fingertips. It is an essential tool for companies, fun

The metropolitan areas of Copenhagen (Denmark) and Oslo (Norway) both aim to facilitate economic development, opportunities for choice and growth in the building stock while limiting negative environmental consequences. Since the 1990s, the rate of consumption of land for urban development has been lower than the economic growth rate in both city regions. Land use policies in Oslo and to some extent in Copenhagen have been explicitly geared towards limiting traffic growth. In both cities, public transport improvements have been combined with road capacity increases. Traffic growth has therefore only been weakly decoupled from economic growth. In both city regions, lack of coordination between sectors, levels and administrative territories is conceived a barrier to sustainability.

A sustainable transportation system is one in which people�s needs and desires for access to jobs, commerce, recreation, culture and home are accommodated using a minimum of resources. Applying principles of sustainability to transportation will reduce pollution generated by gasoline-powered engines, noise, traffic congestion, land devaluation, urban sprawl, economic segregation and injury to drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, the costs of commuting, shipping, housing and goods also will be reduced.

A Never-Ending Passing of the Buck? The Failure of Drink-Driving Reform in Interwar Britain Contemporary British History Volume 24, Issue 3, First published 2010, Pages 363 - 384 Author: Bill Luckin DOI: 10.1080/13619462.2010.497250 Online Sample       Subscribe Abstract Little has been written about the history of drink driving. This paper interrogates the issue in interwar Britain. It focuses on the problems facing reformers determined to rouse the public to the dangers posed by drink-associated impairment, as distinct from gross drunkenness. The contribution begins with an outline of earlier twentieth century anti-drink-driving law. This is complemented by an account of the activities of an informal and distinguished scientific pressure-group, with close links to the temperance-influenced Society for the Study of Inebriety. In conclusion, this paper examines the failure of the reform movement and the manner in which the Ministry of Transport and the Home Office subverted and blocked pressure for legislative change.

Towards a new logic of transport planning? Marvin, S. | Guy, S. Town Planning Review. Vol. 70, no. 2, pp. 139-58. Apr. 1999 This is a lead paper in a policy debate suggesting that a new planning policy is emerging in the transport sector based on Demand-Side Management (DSM). This is a shift from solving network capacity problems by investing in supply capacity to a strategy based upon managing demand through greater attention to network efficiency and end-use consumption.

The paper describes the legal background to the use of benefit assessment, and the process of implementation for the first construction phase of the Los Angeles Metro Rail project. The process of developing the benefit assessment structure was a consultative one, utilizing technical inputs from a team of specialist consultants, a task force consisting of major developers and property owners in the affected area, and politicians representing many of the interests in the region. The initial benefit assessment districts were set up to raise $130 million of the cost of the first 4.4 miles of the rail project, and are based on the benefits accruing to certain categories of property in the vicinity of stations. The assessment would be collected for about 18 years and bonding would be used to provide the capital at the time of constr

Overview Conference Summary Presentations Sponsors Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities Conference Agenda Format for Paper Submission Track Chairs and Conference Program Committee Freight Week Hotels/Room Accommodations Things to do The National Urban Freight Conference 2006 examined the impacts of goods movement and international trade in metropolitan areas. (Scroll down for Conference Agenda.) The purpose of this event was to provide a forum for sharing research on all aspects of urban freight transport, including planning and modeling, impact analysis, and roles of politics and institutions. This conference was among the first to focus on the urban aspects of goods movement and offers opportunities for understanding how growing freight volumes affect metropolitan areas and how freight flows can be better managed. On the conference agenda, you will also find presentations on best practices and lessons learned. These sessions offered tools to industry stakeholders and researchers interested in the problems caused by the intersection of goods movements, urban congestion, environmental awareness, and changing land use and travel patterns. There were over 70 presentations--by respected authors from all over the United States as well as international representatives--organized in tracks of concurrent and plenary sessions on the following topic areas: Models for transportation, port, air, intermodal operations, impact analysis Port operations, productivity Trucking, air, rail economics, productivity, labor issues Local and regional environmental externalities: congestion, air quality, etc. Policy and institutional issues in urban goods movement Security/vulnerability of goods movement infrastructure Best practices and lessons learned

Urban transport policy transfer: "bottom-up" and "top-down" perspectives Purchase $ 31.50 Paul Timmsa, a Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds, UK Available online 9 November 2010. Abstract The paper provides insights into the urban transport policy transfer process, focusing particularly on the transfer of the transport policy within the EU. The themes of the paper are structured according to five of the "Dolowitz and Marsh questions": what is transferred?; why do actors engage in policy transfer?; who are the key actors involved in the policy transfer process?; from where are the lessons drawn?; and what restricts or facilitates the policy transfer process? The methodological approach taken for considering each question involves two steps. Firstly, a "bottom-up" step considers the views of policy transfer from a "city perspective", for which use is made of results from interviews recently carried out within the EU project "Transport Research Knowledge Centre" (TRKC). These interviews were intended to ascertain the information needs of seven "representatives" of European cities, all of whom were involved in the Cities Reference Group of the EU project "Citymobil". These seven cities have widely varying characteristics in terms of size and geographical location (across Europe). By discussing information needs, the interviewees provided many insights into the transport policy transfer process. Secondly, a "top-down" step considers the policy transfer questions from an "EU perspective'; use here is made of various transport policy documents published by the European Commission (EC). For each of the five questions, "bottom-up" and "top-down" perspectives are examined and compared. The final section of the paper draws conclusions, providing a number of recommendations to both city authorities and the EU on how urban transport policy transfer might be enhanced in the future.

The Future for Interurban Passenger Transport Bringing Citizens Closer Together OECD Publishing Version: Print (Paperback) + Free PDF Price:   €140 | $196 | £126 | ¥18200 | MXN2520 Standard shipping included!     Imprint:  International Transport Forum Availability: Available  Publication date:  21 May 2010  Language: English  Pages: 556  ISBN: 9789282102657  OECD Code: 742010021P1    Other Versions & Languages | Table of contents Economic growth, trade and the concentration of population in large cities will intensify demand for interurban transport services. Concurrently, the need to manage environmental impacts effectively will increase. How successful we are in coping with demand will depend on our ability to innovate, to manage congestion, and to improve the quality of transport services. Technological and regulatory innovation will shape the future of transport. These conference proceedings bring together ideas from leading transport researchers from around the world related to the future for interurban passenger transport..  A first set of papers investigates what drives demand for interurban passenger transport and infers how it may evolve in the future.  The remaining papers investigate transport policy issues that emerge as key challenges: when to invest in high-speed rail, how to regulate to ensure efficient operation, how to assign infrastructure to different types of users, and how to control transport's environmental footprint by managing modal split and improving modal performance.

Transit: Economic development for the 21st Century Blog post by Robert Steuteville on 05 Apr 2011 feature codes development economy highways transit/transit-oriented dev. Graph 1 Source: Center for Transit-Oriented Development Graph 2 TOD by year in Denver. Source: Center for Transit-Oriented Development Robert Steuteville, New Urban Network A study of development around three recent light rail transit lines in Denver, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Charlotte found 24 million square feet of residential and commercial construction (see Graph 1). That's a tremendous burst of transit-oriented development (TOD), especially given that much of it occurred after the US housing market began to collapse (see Graph 2). The development was largely focused near downtowns and other employment areas of the three cities. Factors besides transit contributed to this construction, but transit was a major impetus to growth. If the construction industry throughout much of the US had behaved as it did within a half-mile of these new transit stations, we would have had no recession in real estate. Therein lies a way out of our economic malaise. The US building industry is currently on pace to add a quarter-million new houses this year, the lowest since records have been kept for nearly 50 years. That figure will rise substantially only with the right kind of transportation investments, which have historically spurred new housing and commercial development. Since World War II, new infrastructure has consisted mainly of highways. The massive highway construction fueled growth through the first half of the last decade, but that approach won't work anymore. When highways were built through countryside close to compact cities, they spurred huge amounts of construction. That, however, was when gas was cheap and the room to spread out was plentiful in rapidly growing metropolitan areas. Highway-oriented development tends to be low-density development, because nobody wants to live in a compa
