Livable city: An approach to pedestrianization through tactical urbanism

Partnering to create a more livable city: the Livable St Louis Network.

CONTEXT Physical inactivity is a major public health problem. While individual (eg, attitudes, values, beliefs) and social (eg, social support) factors play a role, access to an activity-safe local environment can have a significant influence. Environments that include accessible opportunities for physical activity, a component of livability, require cooperation from many sectors including nonp...

A New Approach to Chinese Urbanism

A Livable City Study in China Using Structural Equation Models

The concept of livable city was put forward naturally and began to gain more attention when people care more about human needs during the economic development. In this paper, we define a livable city as an urban area takes the residents’ demand as first priority. It has a pleasant ecological environment, a mature community with rich public resources such as culture, transportation and medical s...

Production Constraints Modelling: A Tactical Review Approach

A constraint is a limitation or a restriction that poses a threat to the performance and efficiency of a system. This paper presented a tactical review approach to production constraints modeling. It discussed the theory of constraints (TOC) as a thinking process and continuous improvement strategy to curtail constraints in other to constantly increase the performance and efficiency of a system...

An Integrated Approach to Tactical Logistics Network Optimization ∗

We propose a new mathematical model for the optimization of logistics networks on the tactical level. Main features include accurately modelled tariff structures and the integration of spatial and temporal consolidation effects via a cyclic pattern expansion. By using several graph-based gadgets, we are able to formulate our problem as a capacitated network design problem. To solve the model, w...
