Getting Road Expansion on the Right Track: A Framework for Smart Infrastructure Planning in the Mekong

The current unprecedented expansion of infrastructure promises to enhance human wellbeing but risks causing substantial harm to natural ecosystems and the benefits they provide for people. A framework for systematically and proactively identifying the likely benefits and costs of such developments is badly needed. Here, we develop and test at the subregional scale a recently proposed global sch...

Exploring the rhythms of Information Infrastructure Coordination for Smart Cities: the Case of Building a Mobility Infrastructure in Berlin

This paper investigates how the coordination of information infrastructures (II) emerges as a result of the dialectic between social and material agencies, whose interactions are tempered by both the objective and subjective flows of time. Drawing upon the theory of the Trichordal Theory of Coordination (Venters et al. 2014), the study explores the process of coordinating the development of par...

SMART – Future Urban Mobility

This paper presents an overview of the Future Urban Mobility programme of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). Through this programme, MIT is establishing a research centre in Singapore with the mission to support sustainability and improve transportation system performance through innovations in infrastructure, technology, operations and policy. Two key areas of rese...

Topological Characteristics of the Dutch Road Infrastructure

In this paper we study an example of a complex network, namely the road infrastructure of the Netherlands. In order to investigate the factors influencing the robustness of the complex network under consideration, we calculate a set of generic topological characteristics, related to the connectivity, degree, clustering and the shortest path length. Along with these widely considered topological...
