Pháp sẵn sàng hỗ trợ Việt Nam trong xây dựng đường sắt cao tốc. Đây là lĩnh vực mà Pháp có thế mạnh và Việt Nam có kế hoạch thực hiện trong khuôn khổ dự án lên đến 67 tỷ đô la với tổng chiều dài toàn tuyến khoảng 1.541 km, tốc độ thiết kế 350 km/giờ. Hai nước đã ký Bản ghi nhớ hợp tác trong lĩnh vực Giao thông-Vận tải nhân nhân chuyến công du Pháp của tổng bí thư-chủ tịch nước Tô Lâm từ ngày 03-07/10/2024. Hệ thống đường sắt hiện nay ở Việt Nam được xây từ thời Pháp thuộc. Tuyến xe lửa đầu tiên “Sài Gòn-Mỹ Tho được khởi công tháng 11/1881 và đưa vào sử dụng từ ngày 20/07/1885” (*). 130 năm sau, Việt Nam vẫn sử dụng đường sắt khổ 1.000 mm có từ thời đó. Tuy nhiên, kế hoạch xây dựng đường sắt cao tốc, sử dụng khổ 1.435 mm sẽ làm thay đổi hoàn toàn phương tiện giao thông trọng điểm này và góp phần chống biến đổi khí hậu, mà Việt Nam là một trong những quốc gia không phải là đảo bị tác động nghiêm trọng.TGV Pháp giữ kỷ lục tốc độ hơn 40 nămCũng trong suốt gần 1,5 thế kỷ này, ngành đường sắt Pháp phát triển không ngừng và vẫn giữ kỷ lục về tốc độ tàu cao tốc TGV (train à grande vitesse). Thực ra, Nhật Bản là nước tiên phong về tàu cao tốc khi vận hành tàu Shinkansen đầu tiên ngày 01/10/1964 nối Osaka và Tokyo có tốc độ 210 km/giờ. Tại châu Âu, Đức và Ý cũng lao vào cuộc đua tốc độ. Các kĩ sư Pháp thì như ngồi trên lửa.Năm 1970, kĩ sư Jean Bertin có tầm nhìn xa đã thử nghiệm thành công phát minh Aérotrain - tàu hàng không - được khởi động đầu thập niên 1960 và được coi là “anh cả” của tàu TGV hiện nay. Tàu chạy dọc theo đường ray riêng (monorail, hình chữ “T” ngược). Nhờ được trang bị động cơ máy bay, Aérotrain như lướt trên đường và lập tốc độ kỷ lục thế giới 430 km/giờ khi chạy thử ở phía bắc Orléans, tỉnh Loiret.Kĩ sư Jean Bertin giải thích : “Toa tàu được các đệm khí hỗ trợ và dẫn đường. Những đệm khí này được tạo ra bởi những chiếc quạt chạy bằng động cơ có công suất rất lớn. Và một khi có được lực nâng này, đoàn tàu có thể di chuyển với tốc độ xấp xỉ tốc độ mà chúng tôi mong muốn”.Năm 1974, công ty của Jean Bertin ký hợp đồng đầu tiên với chính phủ Pháp nối hai thành phố Cergy và La Défense, ở ngoại ô Paris. Nhưng chỉ một tháng sau, tổng thống mới Valéry Giscard d'Estaing hủy hợp đồng được ký dưới thời người tiền nhiệm Georges Pompidou vì chi phí quá cao. Trong chương trình “Những câu chuyện thế kỷ của bản tin thời sự 19/20 giờ” ngày 28/12/1999, đài truyền hình France 3 Orléans giải thích về “thất bại bị lãng quên” của Aérotrain :“Giấc mơ Aérotrain sớm vấp phải thực tế : chi phí quá cao, các vấn đề về cơ sở hạ tầng nhưng trên hết là sự cạnh tranh trực tiếp từ tàu cao tốc TGV. Chính phủ đã chọn đầu tư vào TGV, được coi là thực tế hơn và ít rủi ro hơn. Năm 1977, sau nhiều năm thử nghiệm và hy vọng không trọn vẹn, cuộc phiêu lưu của Aérotrain chấm dứt”. Kĩ sư Jean Bertin qua đời một năm sau đó vì ung thư.Để tiếp tục cuộc đua với Nhật Bản, công ty đường sắt quốc gia Pháp SNCF đặt cược vào Turbotrain, một công nghệ cũng được nhiều nước sử dụng. Mỗi động cơ được trang bị hai tua bin chạy bằng khí đốt. Thế nhưng người anh thứ hai của TGV hiện nay cũng bị cuộc khủng hoảng năng lượng năm 1973 quật ngã. Tuy nhiên, thành công của Turbotrain đã mở đường cho những nghiên cứu về tàu chạy bằng điện, hiện đại hơn, sang trọng hơn để có thể cạnh tranh với những phương tiện mới, như máy bay, ô tô... nhanh hơn, tiện lợi hơn, không ngừng bùng nổ sau Thế Chiến II. Các kĩ sư của SNCF muốn biến TGV như “sấm trời” (tonnerre de Dieu), theo giải thích của nhà sử học Clive Lamming, chuyên về lịch sử đường sắt, với trang Le Monde ngày 20/04/2018 :“Một số kỹ sư đam mê tốc độ ở SNCF đã thực hiện một thử nghiệm vào năm 1955 với tốc độ 331 km/giờ ở Landes. Thử nghiệm thành công và chứng minh rằng tàu có thể chạy nhanh và cũng sẽ cứu được ngành đường sắt ở Pháp. Tàu cao tốc sẽ giúp khôi phục lại hình ảnh của “thương hiệu” SNCF nhờ sự giúp đỡ của những người bạn “tuyệt vời” - những nước sản xuất dầu mỏ đã tăng giá dầu lên gấp 4 lần vào 1973. Nhưng con tàu không cần dầu bởi vì đã có “than trắng” - tức là điện hạt nhân - được tướng De Gaulle quyết định phát triển sau Thế Chiến II. Ngành đường sắt tiêu thụ điện quốc gia. Đường sắt bỏ than để sử dụng điện”.Theo trang web SNCF, nhà thiết kế Jacques Cooper là người phác thảo các đặc điểm của con tàu tương lai trong “dự án C03”, lấy cảm hứng từ xe Porsche Murène. Ngoài tốc độ cao mà nguyên mẫu này có thể đạt tới, cải tiến lớn nhất là khái niệm về đoàn tàu “có khớp nối” và không thể biến dạng… Sau này, những lựa chọn đó khiến TGV trở thành con tàu an toàn nhất thế giới. TGV cũng được sơn đúng màu da cam như xe Porsche Murène.Hai đoàn tàu TGV đầu tiên được Nhà nước đặt hàng năm 1975. Các cuộc thử nghiệm hoàn tất năm 1978. Ngày 26/02/1981, TGV phá vỡ kỷ lục thế giới với vận tốc 380 km/giờ. Bẩy tháng sau, đích thân tổng thống François Mitterand khánh thành tuyến đường sắt cao tốc đầu tiên tại Pháp nối Paris-Lyon vào ngày 22/09/1981. Con tàu đạt vận tốc 260 km/giờ như dự kiến.Lần thứ hai TGV phá kỷ lục thế giới về vận tốc đường sắt là vào ngày 18/05/1990. Chuyến TGV 325 đạt đến vận tốc 515,3 km/giờ ở gần ga Vendôme nằm trên tuyến đường sắt cao tốc thứ hai - TGV Atlantique - được đưa vào hoạt động tháng 09/1989.Cho dù từ năm 2003, Maglev - một mô hình nâng từ trường của Nhật Bản - giữ kỷ lục vận tốc tuyệt đối là 581,2 km/giờ. Nhưng chính TGV của Pháp một lần nữa lại phá vỡ kỷ lục thế giới trên đường ray. Ngày 03/04/2007, tàu V150 của Alstom đã đạt vận tốc 574,8 km/giờ sau 42 lần thử trong sáu tuần (bắt đầu từ ngày 15/01/2007) trên tuyến Strasbourg-Paris. Kỷ lục này vượt xa mục tiêu 540 km/giờ được đặt ra ban đầu (V150 : tốc độ 150 mét/giây, tức là 540 km/giờ). Tuy nhiên, theo Le Monde ngày 03/04/2007, vì lý do hao mòn và bảo trì đường sắt, Mạng lưới đường sắt Pháp (RFF, cơ quan quản lý hạ tầng đường sắt được tách khỏi tập đoàn SNCF từ 1997-2015) không cho phép công ty SNCF vượt quá quy định 300 km/giờ, riêng tuyến TGV Est (Paris-Strasbourg) được phép lên tới 320 km/giờ.TGV “thu nhỏ” nước Pháp, “phá vỡ” biên giới châu ÂuTrả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 28/05/2021, kỹ sư Tạ Quang Anh, công tác tại SNCF nhận định : “Sự ra đời của TGV mở đầu một giai đoạn phát triển đột phá mới của ngành đường sắt Pháp. Khác với giai đoạn đột phá về hạ tầng nửa cuối thế kỷ 19, TGV đã “thu nhỏ” nước Pháp và thậm chí châu Âu trong bán kính 3-4 giờ đi lại. Trong giai đoạn 1990-2010, nhiều tuyến TGV trong nước được khánh thành, tiếp theo là các tuyến quốc tế, đáng chú ý là tuyến Eurostar chạy qua 50 km đường hầm eo biển Manche sang Anh Quốc (1994), tuyến Thalys đi sang Bỉ và Hà Lan…Trong khoảng 30 năm cuối thế kỷ 20, việc vận hành tuyệt đối an toàn 400 nghìn tấn thép trên đường ray ở vận tốc 320 km/giờ luôn là một biểu tượng công nghệ trong ngành vận tải hành khách mặt đất. Công nghệ TGV được xuất khẩu, chuyển giao ra nhiều nước : ở châu Âu như sang Tây Ban Nha, sang Hoa Kỳ, Maroc và cả Hàn Quốc. Đối với người Pháp, TGV là một “niềm tự hào dân tộc”. Theo một thăm dò dư luận trong dân chúng Pháp, TGV được coi là một trong những phát minh quan trọng nhất trong thế kỷ 20, cùng với máy tính, điện thoại di động và lò vi sóng”. Đọc thêm : Đường sắt Pháp, câu chuyện về tầm nhìn và sự sáng tạoTừ ngày 16/12/2024, hai thủ đô Berlin của Đức và Paris của Pháp đã được nối bằng tàu cao tốc trong 8 tiếng. Tham vọng trong năm 2025 của tập đoàn SNCF là đưa vào hoạt động tàu cao tốc sinh thái - TGV M (modulable) - được coi là sự tập trung của nhiều đổi mới : tái chế đến 97%, có khả năng điều chỉnh việc sử dụng năng lượng trên tàu, 100% kết nối... Loại tàu thế hệ thứ 5 này do tập đoàn Alstom phát triển, được cho là sẽ giảm mức tiêu thụ năng lượng 20% ​​và cải thiện lượng khí thải carbon thêm 37% mỗi năm so với các đoàn tàu hiện tại. 115 đoàn tàu được đặt hàng (trong đó có 15 theo phiên bản quốc tế) sẽ lần lượt được đưa vào lưu thông trong vòng 10 năm. Do kinh phí rất lớn nên tàu cao tốc không phổ biến trên quy mô thế giới. Ngoài phải cạnh tranh với Shinkansen của Nhật Bản, TGV của Pháp chật vật đối phó với Trung Quốc, cường quốc tàu cao tốc với hơn 40.000 km đường sắt cao tốc, rộng nhất thế giới. Ngay sau khi Việt Nam có dự án huyết mạch Bắc-Nam trị giá 67 tỷ đô la, hai tập đoàn lớn của Trung Quốc - Tập đoàn xây dựng giao thông Trung Quốc (CCCC) và Tập đoàn Xây dựng công trình đường sắt Trung Quốc (CRCC) - cùng ngỏ ý tham gia.(*) Hoàng Thị Hiền, “Hệ thống đường sắt ở Nam Kỳ thời Pháp thuộc”, Xưa Nay, số 436 tháng 09/2013.

This week in Episode #670, Greetings from the Maglev artist Adam Cahoon and writer Mark Espinosa discuss their engaging comics series, including the second of three volumes, that was just released to their crowdfunding supporters! Adam and Mark are behind this “original concept told in comic form.” Here's this series' description: “Using revolutionary technology, The Maglev is a massive, solar-powered superhighway utilizing magnetic roadways. Unfortunately, the only ones capable of using it are those who can afford to... and those who hijack their way in. The rich and the wild. But who cares about all of that?  This is a story about good old fashioned ‘revenge!'” We talk about how this series came to be, who the various characters are, and what else these creators will be up to in the months ahead. You can order this book through your local comics shop, the invadercomics.com website,  or through their Kickstarter projects. Highly recommended!

In EcoNet News, Volume 26, Issue #9, Ted highlights his perspective on the nuclear shotgun wedding, sharing that AI is using so much data and energy that its purveyors – like Microsoft and Oracle – are seeking nuclear power solutions for their data centers, and questions whether this path is the best way to power AI. He also shares his travelog of his second round of sailing the Maine Coast, massive solar projects at JFK and Six Flags in Los Angeles, MagLev automobiles, the restoration of the the Klamath River from coffer dams, and Skywind microturbines.

Gene Decode (pseudonym)  has found a treasure trove of historical documents showing the construction of up to 10,000 Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) in the US and around the world. These are connected through high-speed Magnetic Levitation (MagLev) trains that can travel at hypersonic speeds of up to 10,000 mph. These DUMBs have been built using advanced boring machines and are powered by portable nuclear reactors. In his second Exopolitics Today interview, Decode discusses the historical documents, news articles and patent applications he has found showing the construction techniques, locations, and the interconnecting Maglev systems for this worldwide network of tunnels and DUMBs. Gene Decode is a 20+ year US Navy veteran who served on five classes of submarines during his military career. In 1992 he had a Near Death Experience in which he received information downloads from the celestial realm about how Earth is run by dark forces, and also enhanced abilities such as remote viewing. He soon after retired from the US Navy and has ever since been researching anomalous phenomenon and exposing the elite groups, both human and extraterrestrial, secretly running our planet.

The image of the skyscraper is the hallmark of the modern city. Futuristic depictions of urban landscapes nearly always feature towering structures high above the clouds. Today, however, developing countries seem to be putting the greatest effort into building the most impressive skyscrapers, from the Burj Khalifa in the UAE, to the future Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia. Whether you love them or hate them, it's worth asking why we build skyscrapers and what their role will be in future cities.

He is also the author of Building the Skyline: The Birth and Growth of Manhattan's Skyscrapers.Demand for the skyscraper (1:35)Pethokoukis: You obviously love skyscrapers, you're fascinated by them. You wrote a whole book on them. So I want to just start the very basic question: Why do skyscrapers fascinate you, and the people who aren't fascinated by them, what are they missing?Barr: Great questions. Well, I grew up on Long Island, and so I was always really fascinated with Manhattan. I grew up in the '70s, and so New York back then was a very dark, mysterious place for a youngster. So when I grew up, actually when I was in college, I started hanging out in the city. So to me, the skyline of Manhattan and New York City, they're just two sides of the same coin. I really developed an interest in tall buildings through my interest and fascination with Manhattan's and New York City's history.So when I came to Rutgers Newark, I just started doing research on tall buildings, especially in New York City: what was driving the heights of these buildings; there's all these interesting height cycles over the last 150 years. So I wrote my first book on the Manhattan skyline, that was called Building the Skyline, and then after that I thought, let's see what's happening around the rest of the world. So to me, the tall building is an interesting thing because it's part and parcel with urbanization, and I just personally don't think you could have one without the other.I think some people might think that skyscrapers are, at least for rich countries, that they're kind of a 20th-century thing that we did as we were growing, and cities were getting bigger, and skyscrapers are a part of that, but now they're for other parts of the world, parts of the world which are still urbanizing, which are still getting richer. Are skyscrapers are still a thing for America?The short answer is yes, but, given how dense cities are, tall buildings are just being added a lot more slowly. In New York, the population's kind of slowly growing, and so tall buildings are either replacing old buildings that are wearing out, or there's always this push by big global corporations to be in the newest and latest tall building. And obviously there's this international demand from people abroad to have an apartment — or national demand — global demand to have some kind of residential presence in New York. But the thing is, people in other countries: cities, planners, residents in other countries, they look to New York, they look to Chicago, and I think, for many of them, they see New York as something they want to emulate, and New York is, on just about almost any metric, it's probably the top global city. And so I think cities today, especially in China, and Asia more broadly, they're trying to kind of replicate that, what you might call “the Manhattan magic,” and I don't really think people in this country realize how much tall building construction is going on in other cities around the world. People in this country are a little bit more cynical about the role of the tall building in urban growth and in housing affordability and stuff like this, but other cities are basically going gangbusters, is a way to put it.Is that driven by fundamental economic forces? Is it kind of a “national greatness” kinds of signaling projects? Are there fundamental reasons, not just to build skyscrapers, but to build very, very tall skyscrapers?“All of the above” is the answer. Fundamentally, if there's many, many people who want to be working, living, playing in the center, the only way to accommodate the demand to be in the center is to make more land in the center, so the skyscraper, at its heart, is what I would say is “land in the sky.” You just go vertical because there's constraints on how much land there is in the center.Having said that, definitely the skyscraper is seen as a kind of way to advertise, a way to increase confidence in the place, and so you boost foreign direct investment. Observatories are huge money makers, there's a big tourism component. A lot of critics will say, “Oh, it's all about spectacle and ego.” But really, for the book, and just more broadly my research, when you drill down on the economics of these super tall buildings, not all of them are profitable or profit-maximizing, but they all have a strong economic rationale.Now, I just also want to say, China has its own thing going on, which sort of compounds the skyscraper construction-building there because of their unique governance structure and land ownership structure, but China is building tall buildings because, at the end of the day, there's a kind of, what I call, a “tall building bling.” There's just something that says, “This city is growing, this city is drawing population.” So we build a tall building and we boost confidence in the city. And it works, really.The pictures don't have to be too old, if you look at a picture of Shanghai, it looks a lot different not too long ago. It's almost as if a whole other city just kind of fell from the sky, a city of skyscrapers, and where there were once goats or something grazing, there's now a bunch of massive skyscrapers.Yeah, absolutely, and there's a few reasons for this. One is, I think Chinese residents more broadly see tall building as a natural way to live. I've talked to many Chinese residents, whether it's Shanghai or other cities, and to them, to own an apartment in the sky is like the greatest thing. It's their equivalent of the single family home in the United States. Living in the clouds is something many people aspire to. The other aspect of it is, Shanghai, and the Pudong neighborhood in Shanghai, was chosen basically to become a financial hub. Basically, the leaders were looking at Hong Kong and they thought it was a, to quote, I forgot the author, but to quote him in the book, the Shanghai officials and the National Party officials saw Hong Kong as that frustratingly free city, and so they wanted to create a kind of a financial hub in Shanghai. And so the Shanghai Tower, for example, is part of that plan to really draw people's attention to Shanghai, itself. So it was part of a master plan.The end of the skyscraper (9:00)I certainly remember that, after 9/11, I heard about “the end of the skyscraper,” and then during the pandemic, I heard about “the end of the city.” Now I'm guessing that cities will continue to exist and we're going to continue to build tall buildings.Absolutely. What 9/11 did was just make sure that we make our building safer with fire protection measures. In many Asian countries, every 20 floors, let's say, are mechanical floors, so you have the electric equipment, and the heating, and the cooling, and water tanks. They can also surround these in concrete, and so if something's on fire, if a floor is on fire, they can go to this hermetically sealed floor, a refuge floor, and stay there and be protected. And the elevator cores, they're made of concrete, and so you wouldn't have something like what happened on 9/11. So it didn't really impact the demand; 9/11 didn't impact the demand for the tall building, it just made us make tall buildings safer. And of course the downside is if you want to go into an office building, you have to have a swipe and you have to have an entry, so the negative of 9/11 was more about heightened security and increasing protections in a way that engenders a little bit more mistrust of us. But the demand didn't go away.Same thing with Covid. For big cities like New York and San Francisco, I'm sure the empty-office problem is going to dissipate. It'll take a while. This may be an overly broad statement, but the truth is, our present and future is in cities. The funny thing about the internet and social media and all that, it was supposed to allow us to suburbanize more, or run away from these big, overcrowded cities, but the truth is, social media and internet technology has just made cities even more important. So, as long as cities are growing, there'll be a demand for tall buildingsOf the tallest, I don't know, half-dozen buildings, have you been to all of them?That's a good question. I've been to the Shanghai Tower, which was the second-tallest building in the world, now is the third-tallest. The one that replaced it, I think it's [Merdeka 118] in Kuala Lumpur, I believe. I didn't go to that one yet because that just opened up recently. I've been to the Burj Khalifa, which is the world's tallest building. I'd have to look at the list. I've been to the Sears Tower, Empire State Building . . . Anyway, so I've been to a handful of them. I can't say I've been to every single one of the super-tall buildings in the worldAnd in any of those super-tall buildings, can you open a window? Why can't you open the windows in these skyscrapers?Well, the wind forces are just tremendous! The biggest problem engineering tall buildings is making sure that the building doesn't sway so that people feel it. The really fascinating thing about engineering tall buildings is this question: How do you allow the building to sway enough so that you don't have to — you don't want to over-engineer a building so that you make it perfectly stiff because that's just completely uneconomic to do that, but you want to make sure the building sways just enough so if you're sitting there reading a newspaper or drinking a cup of coffee on the top floor, you don't feel it. And so the wind forces high, a thousand feet in the air, are just so tremendous. I think if you open the window, everything would just would just blow away.I was thinking about some of those very, super-skinny residential buildings, which I guess seem to be becoming more popular, and do those people really feel the motion?From what I can tell, the short answer is no. There's one lawsuit in Manhattan, in particular, where the engineering wasn't exactly perfectly right, but I think that represents the exception that proves the rule. The building is safe, that's not the problem, it's just that, when you're dealing with these super-skinny buildings — these are kind of a new kind of breed of super-tall buildings, so sometimes the engineering isn't perfectly right, so they will figure out ways to kind of fix those problems. The problems are solvable, but sometimes if you don't get it 100 percent right, people complain, and obviously there's lawsuits and you have to go back in and tweak the engineering. But these things are selling for 70, 80, 100 million dollars for a penthouse on the 90th floor, so people still value them, and if motion sickness was a problem, they'd be worthless.Pillars of commerce (14:05)In the book, you run through a number of myths: tall buildings being only for the rich, that they drive up housing prices in cities, again, that you mentioned a little bit earlier, that they're somehow bad economic deals. All these myths all tend to be very negative.I'm not going to rename your book, but I could call it “Cathedrals in the Sky,” I mean, I think these are beautiful buildings that say a lot about human aspiration and to create a sense of awe. Boy, but some people just do not see it that way.I think there's a few strands; I've been thinking about this. There's a kind of a NIMBY strand, and sort of a NIMBY/gentrification strand. So people in the middle income, let's say, they see their housing prices going up, their rent going up, and then they see these billionaire condos, and so they, in my opinion, or based on my research, there's a confusion of correlation and causation. So the most visible manifestation in people's minds of gentrification and affordability problems are the super-slim buildings, but New York City has something like 3.6 million housing units, and if you look at the outlying areas of Queens and Staten Island, they're just covered in one- and two-family homes. Those neighborhoods have added barely any housing. So all of the housing — I'm exaggerating here when I say the word “all,” but the vast majority of new housing units happens in the center where either the zoning is more permissive, or old industrial sites come online and things like this, so people don't realize that the problem of housing affordability is citywide, it just looks naturally to be in their neighborhood where high rises are going up.Then there's another strand, which I would say is kind of the “Jane Jacobs strand” / the anti-public-housing strand. Jane Jacobs has some great points in her book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities about walkability, about eyes on the street. She wasn't a big fan of tall buildings, and this has kind of given rise to this whole movement of “human scale,” where five-story Greenwich Village buildings, or 10-story Parisian mansard-roof-type buildings are perfect, and any other deviation from that is somehow destroying the city. So there's that part of it, that people see tall buildings as somehow destroying the feel or the perfect fabric of the city. And lastly, obviously, some of the failures with the public housing policy has made people convinced that it's unhealthy to live in these tall buildings. I think that gets at what you're inquiring about. I think there's those different strains.I wonder if part of it stems for a confusion about what are cities for, and I mean cities are, for a large part, are where people to come together for jobs and to conduct commerce. And if you think of them that way, then certain things make sense; but if you think of them as, I don't know, some sort of urban retreat, where it's kind of like a garden or . . . I don't know, but it's a very different view, and perhaps it is not just about bike paths, but it's about what facilitates people to connect.Without jobs, without a labor market, there's no purpose to have a city. Maybe in the 18th or 19th century, you can create a city for the king or the empire, as are many examples, or the Vatican or something like this; so you can have these sort of political capital cities, or even Washington DC, but, fundamentally, 99 percent of the world's cities are places where people go to work, and so, if you don't allow the labor market to function properly, which means having a functioning housing market, then all these ideas about “the good city” and “the perfectly crafted city,” they kind of are irrelevant.So you have to start with: what makes a city grow, what makes people productive, and then how do we accommodate that? To the extent that we can improve design, all the better. There's always a million ways to make things better for people design-wise. I think bike lanes are great, and I think pedestrian-friendly cities are better than car-centric cities, but you can't start with designing the city first and then seeing what happens. You have to start with “let's make an attractive place to live and work” first, and then work on the design feature second.The sky's the limit (18:36)How tall are these buildings going to get?Okay, well, the next world's tallest building is going to be one kilometer: The Jeddah Tower, which had started, I think back in 2013 or 2015, had been stalled, there was some sort of political turmoil in Saudi Arabia, and they've just restarted this Jeddah Tower in the city of Jeddah. And so when that's completed, that's going to be one kilometer. There were some plans floated to have a two-kilometer building in Riyadh. I don't think anyone really thinks that's going to happen.How long does it take to get up to your office in a two-kilometer building?Well, that's the thing. They're coming up with new ways to get people up there faster. The old conventional steel cables could maybe go 500 meters or something like that, which is maybe 80 floors or something. Maybe if you had a really good cable, you can get people to 80 floors and then they'd have to switch. Now they have these composite . . . it's KONE UltraRope, which could go 1000 meters, which could go basically one kilometer continuously. So if you can get people from the ground floor to wherever their destination is within a minute, that's kind of like the golden rule here. People are not willing to wait more than a minute once they get in the elevator. The trick really is the ear pressure, and that's probably the hardest part because you're going up so quickly, the air pressure changes, so you have to figure out ways to make sure the cabin remains pressurized, and then there's the air pressure up on the highest floors. So that, I would argue, is the fundamental issue that's going to be coming next on the horizon is how to efficiently pressurize the highest floors. Let's say you're a mile high; if you're a mile high on the top floor, that's the equivalent of going from New York to Denver in a minute, or two minutes. So you have to figure out a way how to pressurize the entire building so it has a constant air pressure.If I were to look at the skyline of major American cities 50 years from now, would you expect them to be radically different, futuristic looking, maybe not two-kilometer buildings, but a lot of very, very tall buildings? Or is it again, if they're not growing, if population isn't growing, then that won't happen?People are always asking me what I think about the doom loops and all that. Pick New York as one end of the spectrum: It's always going to be adding new buildings, that's just in its DNA, and so you're going to have this kind of collage of different building styles. But other cities, smaller cities, maybe where people are moving now because working from home, they'll add a few tall buildings here, they'll have mini-skylines. Then the other cities, like a St. Louis, that's just going to have to kind of figure out a plan for growth. So I don't see the world as a kind of Jetsons-type world.I mean, you never know what's going to happen with the technology. There's one company, TK or Thyssenkrupp elevators, they're working on Maglev elevators, and this can actually be a game changer because you have these shafts, so the Maglev elevator cars, they can go up or down or they can go horizontal. Part of the goal with that is that everybody has their own — if it's an apartment building, they have their own elevator car, it takes them up to their apartment, it becomes the door. So that could be a real game changer . . . And then you could run these things horizontally. So if you have these Maglev elevators, you can not only run them horizontally within the building, but, in principle, if you could work out property rights or whatever, you could connect these things across buildings. But at the end of the day, it's really about preferences and a kind of cultural perception of the tall building, and I just don't see us in the United States us having a dramatic, country-wide rethinking of where we live. There's always going to be this desire for the single-family home in the suburbs. Now maybe that'll diminish to some degree, but as long as people see their own little house as their own little castle . . .Unlike China, where there seems to be a great desire to live in these kinds of buildings.Manhattan extension (23:04)Have you had any takers about your proposal to make Manhattan bigger?No.You would extend it by about 2000 acres and maybe build some tall buildings on that, I don't know.The idea would be to create a new mini-Manhattan extending Manhattan into New York Harbor. Just briefly, the idea was both to add more housing and add more land, and to protect lower Manhattan against sea level rises and so forth. I proposed this in a New York Times op-ed piece, and, naturally, I would say the majority of commenters and people had this sort of kneejerk reaction against it.I had a kneejerk reaction for it! I loved it!You are part of a small, select core of appreciators, let's say. Having said that, in the 21st century it's just not something I think most people are willing to wrap their heads around. SoTo me, that's an idea with the future, and I think you should not be dejected that it was not initially well-received. I think that kind of idea might actually have some legs.Trends and styles (24:23)Finally, let me ask you, whether it's because of computers or new materials, would we expect skyscrapers in the future to look any differently? I think some people would love to go back to the 1930s style. They love that style of skyscraper, and they don't like the glass-and-steel, very rectangular skyscraper; they want it to look like Gotham City or something.Actually, if you look in Manhattan, in Brooklyn there's one, I think they're calling it something like the “Dark Knight Tower” or the “Gotham Tower.” It's in Brooklyn and it has this almost art deco sort of —It slipped my mind, I was thinking art deco, yes.And there's a high rise apartment near Columbia University, which uses the same color masonry as the surrounding buildings. I think it's the Union Theological Seminary, which sold some of the land to build a high rise. It sort of blends in. So I guess the question is really architecturally speaking, and it's sort of hard to say. I think maybe there'll be some neo-historical buildings coming up here or there, but there's two things: One is that people like glass windows. People love to have light and views, and so that's really just pushing the glass buildings. I think developers like glass too, because it's easy to work with, and architects — if you're a developer and you want a super-tall building, you usually go to a handful of architects and you have some kind of design competition, and, chances are, you're going to get something that looks full of glass and has some funky geometry to it.But they seem more twisty than they used to, so they're not just perfect rectangles.Right, so you're creating a lot of illusion. The interesting thing is, at the end of the day, you can only have certain internal shapes because you need functional spaces, so you have to have illusion with the twisting and these sort of Jenga towers, and a lot of that is due to massive improvements in computer technology; so the rendering software has dramatically improved, the engineering know-how, the engineering technology improved, you can send your designs right to the manufacturer where they can then use the computer programs to design exactly the shapes and sizes.So it's the learning curve of every building that you do adds to the knowledge of how to do something a little bit different, or some version of something before, and also just massive computer power. I think there'll be a lot more of these sort of funky architectural shape. How they hold up, only time tells. In the '80s there was this massive postmodern boom with all kinds of pastiche-type buildings with all kinds of references to old buildings, and funky buildings, and some of those haven't held up as well.Frankly, I'm from Chicago, and I know exactly what you're talking about. Also being from Chicago, I appreciate you calling that building the Sears Tower rather than what other name they try to put on it. Last question: Do you have a favorite skyscraper?I'm from New York and I like the Empire State Building, and it's not just because architecturally a classic building, but it speaks to New York as a city of strivers. And the more research I did into the Empire State Building, the more I appreciate the sheer guts of these guys who built this building. And the thing is, when it was completed in 1931, Great Depression was really starting to kick into high gear, and so the building was unrented, and it kind of gave this whole mythology about how these guys didn't know what they were doing, but when you crunch the numbers, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew what the landscape looked like for New York, and the costs, and the revenues. Nobody saw the Great Depression coming, and so to say that the Great Depression showed how foolish these were, I just think it's a bad standard to hold them to. And if you look at the revenues and them building value over its 90-whatever, 93-year history, it's been a money-maker for almost a century. After the Great Depression, it recovered and has become an icon and a moneymaker, so what's not to love about that?Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Central Japan Railway Co., or JR Tokai, said Thursday that it now plans to open the Chuo Shinkansen magnetic levitation line between Tokyo and Nagoya no earlier than 2027, changing the target of opening the line in 2027.

In this episode of Remote Ruby, Jason and Andrew cover a wide range of topics that start out with nothing to do with tech. First, they discuss energy drink flavors and then transition into a humorous exploration of disagreements with Chris, who happens to not be here today. They cover various topics including CMS options, front-end development, and Tailwind CSS customization. They also introduce a gem called “Counter” created by their colleague Jamie, aka “Dad” at Podia, which efficiently handles attribute tracking.  Jason and Andrew discuss the gem's features and flexibility, highlighting its value in addressing complex counting challenges.  We end with a discussion on email delivery performance issues and ice cream preferences, culminating in a friendly bet about whether Chris will listen to the episode. Hit download now to hear more! [00:00:13] Jason and Andrew talk about juicing, and they consider discussing topics that Chris doesn't agree with, such as Vimeo vs. Wistia, the way he says “query,” and his dislike for ViewComponent.  [00:03:35] Jason talks about using Spina CMS for Rails, and Andrew mentions using Spinal CMS with Bridgetown. [00:06:15] Jason briefly discusses another page builder for Rails called “Maglev” that Bram Jetten works on. Andrew mentions working on their own site builder and they touch on front-end development and tools. [00:08:13] The conversation shifts towards Tailwind CSS and the Figma component library “Untitled UI.” Jason talks about Tailwind configuration and arbitrary values for spacing, and he's customized Tailwind CSS for his projects, including adding display styles and base textiles. Andrew and Jason praise the IntelliSense feature. [00:10:34] Andrew mentions feeling out of touch lately due to working with React and he shares an interesting challenge he faced involving data migration and validation. [00:12:20] Jason discusses the use of maintenance tasks for data migrations at Podia and their benefits. They talk about default scopes in Rails and the problems they can cause. [00:15:30] Jason mentions a gem called “Counter” created by Jamie “Dad” at Podia, and he explains the purpose of the gem, which efficiently handles counting and tracking attributes, and how the gem uses polymorphism and provides flexibility in defining custom counters. Shout-out to “Dad” for creating the gem.[00:21:14] Find out what happened at the last Rails Conf when Andrew shares the story of telling his boss while riding in an Uber, why he doesn't wear a seatbelt. [00:22:13] Jason shares that he's trying to improve email delivery performance and using email substitution for personalized links. He discusses his struggles with Action Mailer and email link generation, blaming it for issues. He talks about his efforts with Pre Mailer and Pre Mailer Rails and how he had to skip Pre Mailer to resolve the issue. [00:25:12] Andrew asks what Pre Mailer does and Jason explains Pre Mailer's role in converting styles to inline styles and generating text parts for HTML emails. Andrew mentions “Roadie” was updated five days ago and is now in passive maintenance mode.  [00:27:08] The conversation shifts to discussing favorite ice cream flavors, their preferences for mixing ice cream flavors, and they place a bet on whether Chris will listen to this episode and come up with a phrase for him to use if he does.Panelists:Jason CharnesAndrew MasonSponsor:HoneybadgerLinks:Jason Charnes TwitterChris Oliver TwitterAndrew Mason TwitterSpina CMSSpinal CMSBram Jetten WebsiteMaglevMaintenanceTasksUntitled UICounterPremailer READMERoadie

La próxima generación de tren de alta velocidad ya se está ensayando, y los principales avances vienen de Japón y China. Dejando la levitación magnética (MAGLEV) y los carísimos trenes bala con esta tecnología, dos tecnologías nuevas se abren paso: Nuevos materiales y tipos de trenes para poder circular por vías a mucha más velocidad, y una nueva y menos probada, pero atrevida generación prototipos que incorporan alas para hacer de estos trenes productos mucho más eficientes y baratos de operar. ¿Qué empresas y tecnologías se harán con el control del tren de alta velocidad del futuro?

Byron holds a BS in Economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. About Zergratran Zergratran is an innovative and sustainable high-capacity transportation company that is building the world's first tunnel to expedite shipping goods between the North Atlantic and the North Pacific. In doing so it will offer faster, smarter, safer and cheaper solutions to existing alternatives. Led by a visionary team of engineers and Wharton and Harvard scholars, Zergratran is an impact-driven company that uses emerging technologies to revolutionize the future of logistics as well as leverage its global economic and environmental impact. Our goal is to create a better, smarter, healthier and more efficient world, to build a legacy and a better future for humanity. Zergratran develop and manage ESG and technology focused infrastructure projects  that will boost the efficiency of the global shipping and transportation system. It will start with Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA) in northern Colombia, a project which will use Maglev technology to  transfer shipping containers between ports on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through an underground tunnel. Key Takeaways: The Zergratran Story Byron Bennett is the Founder and CEO of Zergratran, which develops and manages ESG and technology-focused infrastructure projects around the world that boost the efficiency of the global shipping and transportation system. In the podcast interview, Joe and Byron discuss Zergratran's first project, a cheaper, faster, and cleaner alternative to the Panama Canal. Zergratran's first project is Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA) in northern Colombia. The project will develop new ports on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and transfer shipping containers through an underground tunnel system. The Panama Canal is critically important to world trade and unfortunately container ships are currently waiting 12 days to cross the canal. The Panama Canal bottleneck is causing supply chain disruptions worldwide and constraining global trade. The Zergratran Vision for eliminating the Panama Canal bottleneck is below: “Imagine a 13,000+ TEU container ship that can't pass through the Panama Canal unloads at our North Pacific port. We transfer the containers across to our North Atlantic port in 15 minutes using an underground tunnel. Waiting regional ships distribute the containers onward to the US, Gulf and Eastern ports and Europe. More containers would be better dispersed and distributed and reach their final destinations faster. And the 60% of ships that now return west to Asia mostly empty, can be filled with fresh loads from South America. This coordination creates higher profitability with long term sustainability.” Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA) aims to add a new container shipping route across the Central America region. This will be the focal point of a system wide efficiency upgrade driven by automation, containerization, digitization, technology and connections to neighboring port facilities.

In the future, robots will determine the strength of our rail system. Or so says our feature game - Maglev Metro, a literal engine building game from Ted Alspach and Bezier Games.Time stamps:2:17 Stratego: Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition6:35 Stratego Legends7:42 Raiders of Scythia9:32 Living Forest10:11 FEATURE REVIEW - Maglev Metro

Northeast Maglev has a vision for bringing fast--really, really fast--rail service to the Northeast Corridor (Boston to Washington D.C.). This week Paul talks with Wayne Rogers, Chairman and CEO of the Baltimore Washington Rapid Rail, LLC, and Northeast Maglev, LLC, about his vision for what maglev trains could do for the region. Faster than steel wheel-based trains, maglev trains use superconducting magnets to propel trains along at up to 311 miles an hour. Already running in Japan, where the service is wildly successful, bringing this level of train service would mean being able to get from New York City to Washington D.C. in an hour. Many of the trips people take today by car or plane could be eliminated if the Northeast Corridor gets maglev up and running. Maglev would reduce congestion, pollution, and pressure on the highway system as the region grows. The U.S. has been looking at maglev rail for decades and Northeast Maglev started working on this project ten years ago. The environmental reviews are almost complete and they are looking to get the project up and running soon.   In the episode, you'll hear about the project, the technology, and what we've learned from the successful maglev train in Japan. Next week on Transit Unplugged News and Views, we'll have Jen Shepard, GM of Uber Transit on the show talking about microtransit and paratransit options.

In 1962, the Jetsons introduced us to the idea of the flying automobile. That simple vision of the future inspired generations of innovators to look towards the next big step in transportation. We were promised a glorious future of mobility that would transform the way we live, work and play. But here we are, 60 years later, tires against pavement, and an ancient public transportation system crumbling beneath our feet. What happened to our bright vision of the future? That future is finally here! On this episode of Smart City Diaries, hosts Anna and Deborah Acosta discuss the stunning breakthroughs in transportation that lie right around the corner. From flying cars to Maglev trains to the Hyperloop, how will cities implement multi-modal infrastructure to adopt these new technologies? Join us as we take a ride into the world of tomorrow!
