	LCC
		Linears are not only designed to be optimally efficient from the standpoint of land, energy and resource utilization, but they are also designed to be optimally efficient from the standpoint of human interactions.
		Linears can be thought of as testbeds to evaluate the relative performance of groups which are all equally affluent (by virtue of being able to afford to live in a linear in the first place), but which have fundamentally different racial, ethnic or normative characteristics.
		Linears would also be designed as homogeneous communities in an attempt to regain some of the sense of community, or gemeinshaft, that has been lost in modern multicultural, multiethnic, multiracial states.

	City of Piqua Ohio - The Loop

	Slide Rail Systems
		What is new on the linear shoring system is - replacing the permanently positioned hinged spreaders usually found even on high-performance slide rail systems - the use of rigid roller units to keep the soldiers and the shoring panels apart in the trench.
		Linear shoring has no trouble complying with the requirements contained in the safety regulations of the civil engineering trade.
		With linear shoring, this requirement is met at all stages of the shoring process.

	Linear city - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The linear city was an urban plan for an elongated urban formation.
		Generally, the city would run parallel to a river and be built so that the dominant wind would blow from the residential areas to the industrial strip.
		The linear city design was first developed by Arturo Soria y Mata in Spain during the 19th century, but was promoted by the Soviet planner Nikolai Alexander Milyutin in the late 1920s.

	Polycentric Linear City
		Originally, cities came about to join people, to enhance their security, to favor the exchange of goods, information and emotions; to eventually expand their individual selves into a wider social conscience.
		These transit systems had to be combined through very dense neighborhoods because only a very high ridership could justify the operational costs of manual frequent service, and had to be kept underground or separated from buildings because of their noise, vibrations and structural requirements.
		New steel or alloy wheels are much quieter, especially at low speeds and curvature levels, which are typical in proximity of station areas.At medium and low speeds, noise of the system is a function of suspension/guidance interaction, vehicle engineering, propulsion and AC noise, guideway insulation and structural separation.

		The linear city model was developed early on by Earnst May in 1929 at the behest of the central soviet government.
		The first option, the one that he preferred, was to locate the city across the newly dammed Ural River and to the west of the forming industrial complex.
		In addition, the linear city model was a bust in the steppe climate where the winter winds gust through the straight rows of apartments as if they were a wind tunnel.

	City of South San Fransisco - News Details
		Early on in this process, the City took a very forward thinking and pro-active approach to planning for this phase of BART’s project, in an effort to maximize the enormous potential of this dramatic open space, and minimize potential negative impact to adjacent property owners and potential trail users.
		Rather than sit back and wait for BART to drop a pathway down, the City decided to embark on a comprehensive Linear Park Master Plan process, with such possible amenities identified as benches, interpretive areas and signage, lighting, trees, attractive landscaping, and safe crossings where the path crosses city streets.
		However, the City’s Linear Park Master Plan has been approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as the City Council.

		However, the parcels are adjacent to the border with City of Stuart, and the timing of this request may be premature since the City is in the process of redesignating land along Indian Street as Commercial, and vacant commercial land exists within the County in the immediate area.
		Due to differences in the way the City and the County calculate their LOS, the City's LOS is not fully consistent with the County's LOS.
		Annexation to the City may relieve the individual applicant of responsibility to meet the County's concurrency requirements but the burden of maintaining road concurrency will be borne by the County, nevertheless.

		After meeting with community leaders, city staff, and the city attorney's office, Councilman Peters asked the city attorney to move forward with enforcing the terms of a development agreement with Terrabrook development company that required the company to participate in the creation of the park.

		From the public transportation standpoint, where today's cities go astray is in their grid system.
		So, to make public transportation viable as the primary means of transport for an entire city, cities themselves need to be designed to closely follow a single transportation corridor.

		In Cities, their imaginations range over apocolyptic landscapes, veering from the surreal to the nightmarish; from high-tech to high-hell.
		A classic example of the Di Filippo style, "Linear City" is set in a linear city — literally.
		The city consists of one immeasurably long avenue with Heaven on one side and Hell on the other, and both battling for the souls in between.

	Paul di Filippo: A Year in the Linear City
		The linear city appears to be a single street which runs forever, beginning in the mythical Block Zero and running through various boroughs and neighborhoods, each governed by their own mayor.
		Following Patchen's existence through a year in the city allows di Filippo to give a travelogue of the city, although travel is restricted to a single season through the course of the novel.
		Like life, A Year in the Linear City does not have any real plot, but it does have a series of story arcs, from the heroin addiction of Kush's girlfriend, Milagra Eventyr, to the wasting disease suffered by Diego's father, Gaddis.

	Locus Online: Reviews by Claude Lalumière
		In a setting that is reminiscent both of the oppressive infinity of J.G. Ballard's "The Concentration City" and of China Miéville's baroque New Crobuzon (the metropolis of Perdido Street Station), Di Filippo spins a tale of bohemian joie de vivre amidst forces of conformist authority.
		At the heart of A Year in the Linear City is a passionate refusal to bow down to consensus reality.
		A Year in the Linear City is colourful and picaresque, sad and beautiful, joyous and mysterious.

	Amazon.co.uk: A Year in the Linear City: Books: Paul di Filippo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A Year in the Linear City is an intriguing novella, full of exotic characters and locations.
		The book is not driven by a single storyline but, as its title suggests, presents a year in the life of the city through eyes of a 'cosmogonic fiction' author named Diego.
		The choice of the protagonists occupation is revealing, as it leads to some mild reverse snobbism of non-genre authors, but as Di Fililpo seems destined to have his career unduly consigned to small publishers this is understandable.

	Paul Di Filippo: A Year in the Linear City - an infinity plus review
		Di Filippo's protagonist, Diego Patchen, lives in the 10,394,850th block of the city's one through street, Broadway, in Gritsavage, one of the city's many many boroughs.
		A subway runs under Broadway for the length of the city, however long that may be; each block is separated from the next by a short cross street, the depth of the buildings on either side of Broadway; and then, on one side there is the river and on the other the railroad.
		But by Diego's reckoning, then, A Year in the Linear City is not a good example of CF, its ideas left relatively unexplicated (even by the end, much of this world simply is), its mysteries left mysterious.
