Railway Development: Impacts on Urban Dynamics
ISBN: 9783790819717 / Angielski / Twarda / 419 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The revitalisation of railway station areas has been a hot issue in policy making in Europe in recent years.

Examples of revitali- tion of railway station areas can be found throughout Europe, for example in countries like England (Liverpool), France (Euralille), Germany (Berlin) and the Netherlands (Amsterdam South Axis). The dynamics of revitali- tion of...

Manchurian Railways and the Opening of China: An International History: An International History
ISBN: 9780765625151 / Angielski / Miękka / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The railways of Manchuria offer an intriguing vantage point for an international history of northeast Asia. Before the completion of the Trans-Siberian railway in 1916, the only rail route from the Imperial Russian capital of St. Petersburg to the Pacific port of Vladivostok transited Manchuria. A spur line from the Manchurian city of Harbin led south to ice-free Port Arthur. Control of these two rail lines gave Imperial Russia military, economic, and political advantages that excited rivalry on the part of Japan and unease on the part of weak and divided China. Meanwhile, the effort to...
