today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Growing Green Roofs, City by City

Inter-city Migration and Policy

The seminal Buchanan-Ng club model is used to analyze optimal allocation of population between non-homogenous cities. Because of externalities (marginal welfare effects), migration cannot alone ensure efficiency and policy intervention is needed. In principle, a first-best optimum is achievable, if the externalities are properly calculated and internalized to people’s decisions by local or cent...

Planning and the Industrial City

ON OC TOBE R 25, 1945, Pennsylvania governor Edward Martin announced that the state legislature had officially authorized the creation of a state park in the city of Pittsburgh, at the “Point,” the historic confluence of the Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela rivers. In less than a month, Pittsburgh’s political and business leadership, led by the city’s banking tycoon and civic luminary Richard K...

An Industrial Agglomeration Approach to Central Place and City Size Regularities

An empirical regularity designated as the Number-Average Size (NAS) Rule was first identified for the case of Japan by Mori, Nishikimi and Smith [13], and has since been extended to the US by Hsu [6]. This rule asserts a negative log-linear relation between the number and average population size of cities where a given industry is present, i.e., of industry-choice cities. Hence one of its key f...
