Cable car as a tourism spectacle
The Irish town of Enniscorthy demonstrates the fact that urban tourist cable cars are of interest not only for cities. A cable car is being discussed here as part of a 30-million euro development plan.
Urban cable car master plan
Professor Heiner Monheim from the raumkom Institute for Spatial Development and Communication is often consulted as an expert on urban cable car planning questions and he explains here which ideas in particular are being discussed in Germany at the moment and which planning steps still need to be taken.
Cable car for commuters and tourists
In the British city of Bristol, an urban cable car between Temple Meads railway station and the Clifton suspension bridge is under discussion. The cable car should also offer access to Ashton Gate football stadium and the areas of Wapping Wharf, the Harbourside and the Western Harbour.
City history
In a paper, Efthymios-Spyridon Georgiou from Aristotle University School of Special Planning and Development Engineering addresses the planning of urban spaces in the Balkans. Here, he encountered a wave of modernisation, which continued for almost six decades and which paints an exciting picture of modern urban planning.
Mobility as a service
Public transport services are increasingly becoming digital, as passengers have a growing need for individuality and convenience and means of transport are becoming more diverse and more interconnected. Big data can and will therefore have a lasting effect on public transport, experts are sure.
Acceptance problems
Time and again, as with almost any construction project, there are opposing voices that need to be won over before construction, even in the case of urban cable cars.
