Hapter 4 - S Ustainable U Rban T Ransport

چکیده
As a Mayor, one of your greatest challenges is to plan and invest wisely in infrastructure for sustainable urban transport. Transport plays a crucial role in urban development by providing access for people to education, markets, employment, recreation, health care and other key services. Especially in cities of the developing world, enhanced mobility for the poor and vulnerable groups is one of the most important preconditions for achieving Millennium Development Goals. Those cities with transport modes in an integrated system are more likely to evolve and prosper as centers for trade, commerce, industry, education, tourism and services. It is common that cities ranking at the top of surveys measuring urban quality of life have high quality urban transport systems that prioritize public transport and non motorized modes.

O u r purpose in this paper is to present some experimental findings that have a bear ing on the t ransport of sodium a nd potassium across the m e m b r a n e of the squid giant axon. As in a variety of cellular types that actively t ranspor t sodium ions, a marked drop in the efflux of sodium ions from squid g iant axons occurs when potassium ions are removed from the external solution (Caldw...
