Economy of a country is an integral part for any development requirements for its inhabitants. Jobs, education, social benefits or daily wages, all these require effective systems and growth in transit or modes of transportation.
Given these various requirements, when it comes to the planning phase of infrastructure and architecture of transportation facilities, a lot of thought has to be given to various aspects such as:
- Green Infrastructure:
Green roofs, living walls, and permeable pavements are the main elements of a green infrastructure and given importance to by architects in their projects. People prefer greener surroundings than living and transiting in a grey environment. These technologies not only keep the surroundings and climate greener but also help purify the air and regulate temperatures.
- Rail Transit:
High speed railway transportation is not a new topic. Many countries today are adopting this method to not only save travel time but also reduce use of natural resources. Use of modern day architecture and infrastructure with hi-tech speed provides environmental friendly opportunities while planning and executing these projects.
- Floating Infrastructure:
Floating bridges and ferry terminals are gaining popularity. Though these have attracted tourism, the sheer rationale behind the use of this type of infrastructure is interesting. Rising sea levels is threatening for any population. Thus impacting movement. Technology induced solutions and techniques are relied upon when projects involving floating infrastructure is planned. These not only make transit easier, but also bear in mind the importance of safety and climatic conditions.
- Readymade Transport Hubs:
Instead of assembling and creating raw materials required for airports, railways or other terminals at the construction site, modern day use of assembling these at a certain modular site is given importance. This aids in pre-planned effective infrastructure and saves time and costs involved at the actual construction site.
While there could be more infrastructural and architectural modern day solutions for discussion, we must remember innovation in this field is gaining a lot of momentum in all construction and project based companies. The technology oriented innovations have created a lot of opportunities and opened doors to more discussions and possibilities.
