Parks and Recreation Trails:

Parks and Recreation Trails:

Urban and rural pedestrian and cycle trails planning need to be a standard component of design and planing of communities. These trails can link people to fresh natual spaces.


The local materials and plants can survive for long, if such trails are planned as part of conservation around residential, schools, parks, commercial areas.

In the long-run, in the absense of such elememnts, cities and regions would grow without green space buffers. This helps natural habiat and healthy environments for people to live and entertain.

Mobile resources and Operations management

Mobile resources and operations management

With the increasing mobility and ubiquitous connectivity, companies are expanding and diversifying operations in markets with many unfamiliar conditions. City and Regional market resource database and mobile task management is an important component for any solution in this area.

City and Regional administrations, industry chambers, companies all have thier parts of the responsibility to organise and maintain a coordinated mobile work environment. Such environment would be a long-term incentive for business to operate and sustain in the coming future. The BartiNet vision for a Community, business and administration partnership would go long way to create a progressive market condition.

Transportation Knowledge Manegement

It is important to have a world-wide knowledge base management system. The solutions to design, create or resolve transportation systems are univeral in nature. The Wheel became a technology became a equalizer for Transportation Design and Planning systems across countries. There are differences in quality, material and practice of solutions from place to place.

Travel types, mode, road categories, standards, distances all these parameters are universal to transportation planning, irrespective the nationality. A knowledge management system may contain those topics at the root level of the knowledge texonomy.

This tropic require extensive discussion and information gathering. All contributions are welcome.

The links and network betweek Chanber of Trade and Commerce with cities and regional apex bodies are becoming very key aspect of development initiatives in many countries.

The developed countries have demonstrated the benefits of urban management bodies cooperation with local Chambers. The rate of investment, skills, employment and technoology flow help those cities to build stronger economies.

City Hierarchy and management issues

The extent, complexity and solutions applicable for ideal management of cities varies from one City to another. The conditions of the cities vary with factors like citizen participation, administratiion, infrastrcuture, business operations, historic identity etc.
The importance of corporate management policies and standards are evident while reviewing hierarchy of Cities and showing diaprities in rate of development. The disparities occur in different parts of any country as a case, with same legal and economic framework.
