EYE ON STOCKHOLM - Enjoying Beautiful Metro Art

Subways need not be boring or dreary! On the contrary, many operators of metros, subways or underground railways want to attract passengers with good station design. This often means extra effort and cost for the metro operators, but it seems to pay off when a metro is more than just a means of transport but something the residents can be proud of.

INDUSTRY PROFILE – DUBAI - PODCARS IN THE MIDDLE WORLD

Dubai – little more than a fishing village along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf some fifty years ago – is today a booming city of 1.5 million residents with a driverless metro that is shaping its future in a more sustainable way. The nearby capital of the United Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi, where a modest podcar system runs. Both advanced transit projects are drawing the attention of officials from throughout a region known for a deep urban history and modern energy wealth.

GET TO KNOW: Jan-Erik Nowacki

Podcar developers and thinkers in Sweden are familiar with the work of Jan-Erik Nowacki, formerly with SwedeTrack and one of the co-founders of the GTS Foundation.

In Sweden one millions houses out of 1.8 million are in some way heated by heat pumps. Around 400,000 collect heat from the ground (geothermal). The amount of heat ta

LETTER FROM CHRISTER — For our children - today we are all Norwegian.
