Urban network development [distribution networks]

Power Engineering Journal, 2001
The UK's rural electricity distribution network has never been in better shape. It has benefited from a decade of regulatory inspired attention and investment that has seen overhead lines refurbished, modernised and rebuilt to reduce faults and boost performance.

Urban Network Privatization

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2011
The majority of recent private facilities are rural highways (outside city boundaries), but privatization of other types of roads could be more beneficial to society. Increasing congestion problems and the existence of transportation modes other than private cars suggest the privatization of urban roads.

Urban Telecommunications Network

2010
Rapidly developing information and telecommunication technologies and their platforms in the late 20th Century helped improve urban infrastructure management and influenced quality of life. Telecommunication technologies make it possible for people to deliver text, audio and video material using wired, wireless or fiber-optic networks.

FLUCTUATIONS IN URBAN TRAFFIC NETWORKS

Modern Physics Letters B, 2008
Urban traffic network is a typical complex system, in which movements of tremendous microscopic traffic participants (pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles) form complicated spatial and temporal dynamics. We collected flow volumes data on the time-dependent activity of a typical urban traffic network, finding that the coupling between the average flux ...

The Urban Network

2011
Along with a new approach to land use, a new circulation system is needed: one whose goal is access rather than mobility. For too long, traffic analysis and street design have reduced transportation to moving as many cars as fast as possible, rather than the broader goal of providing accessibility for people.

Urban network effects simulation

2008 IEEE International Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas and Electronic Systems, 2008
The role of robust communications plays an ever pervasive and critical role in today's network-oriented asymmetric warfare. This is especially true in urban environments, where insurgencies tend to be most active and detrimental to the civilian population.

The City Network Paradigm: Measuring Urban Network Externalities

Urban Studies, 2000
In recent years, network behaviour has been analysed extensively as the emerging model for economic growth. By network behaviour, a metaphor for co-operative behaviour among individuals, corporate or territorial partners is intended. This is increasingly becoming the reference paradigm in an era of continuing innovation and fast technological change ...

Urban Prosumers: Network Generated Urban Spaces

2013
New information and communication media (ICM) have become increasingly important for our society in recent decades and have brought about fundamental change to almost every social system. It seems increasingly to be the case that the impacts of this technical innovation are similar to those of the industrial revolution.
