  BT Research - Milan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Milan is also famous for the Alfa Romeo motorcar and for its silk production; but on the whole relies on its directional functions for the whole of Lombardy, its once proud and strong industrial base having been externalized throughout the region in the 60s-70s of the last century.
Milan eventually became one of the main centers of the Risorgimento, with notable moments as the Cinque Giornate, a victorious popular revolt against the Austrian garrison in 1848, whose success was soon rendered short-lived by Piedmont's defeat on the battlefields.
Milan's province (due to be dissolved sooner or later into the Metropolitan City, a new administrative unit not yet implemented) lies in the western part of Lombardy; it covers an area of 1,981 square kilometers and has a population of 3,839,216 (2005); in 1991, the population was 3,738,685.

 Milano, Italy
Milan (Italian: Milano; Milanese dialect: Milán) is the main city in northern Italy, and is located in the plains of Lombardy, the most populated and developed of Italian regions.
Milan is the capital of Lombardy and the financial capital of Italy, though superseded by Rome for share of national GDP (6,5% vs. 4,8%) at municipal level, and roughly at the same level (€ 104 billion vs. € 126 billion) at provincial-metropolitan level.
After the end of the wars, Milan was part of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, under Austrian rule: the city became one of the main centers of Italian nationalism, reclaiming independence and the unification of Italy.

 SPUR - Articles - San Francisco: Sustaining a Livable City in the New Millennium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
And as we know, transportation is not just moving people and goods from place to place, it embodies a whole family of considerations, including what the places are like on both ends, what the qualitative characteristics of the trip are, what it costs and how long it takes.
Funding should be ensured for adequate maintenance of the existing transportation system before spending the enormous amounts needed for far-flung exurban extensions of fixed rail systems which have a very high per passenger cost and serve to fuel suburban sprawl.
To the extent we continue to fund transportation improvements focused on bringing middle class, suburban and largely white workers to jobs requiring long commutes by automobile, we are continuing to condemn inner city, disadvantaged and largely non-white citizens to lives of poverty.

 River Locks on the Milan Canal
George Washington was one of the first to see the potential of a canal system and in 1787 Thomas Jefferson suggested an intricate canal system between Lake Erie and the Ohio and Cuyahoga rivers that would ultimately connect the Ohio canal systems with the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence and the Atlantic.
So in 1833 a group of Milan area investors issued a contract to build a 3 mile long river canal for shipping from the inland port of Milan to a river entrance point north of Fries Landing which then allowed the ships to travel down the Huron river directly to Lake Erie.
The original projection included moving the main body of Huron river north of it's original path to allow for a large boat basin beside Milan (see maps on page one of Milan Canal section), a new dam, a new mill run, a toll house, three river locks and several dry docks beside the river.

 Florida Center: Transportation, Land Use and Sustainability
Transportation and land-use are the fundamental factors of development, and are inextricably linked to each other and to the ultimate form of any human settlement.
To the degree, however, that changes in transportation policy and technology imply and effect changes in the way land is used, transportation can be seen as the dominant factor in the relationship.
Advocates of sustainability feel that mass transit systems should be seen as one of the necessary infrastructure elements found in modern society, like sewer systems, roads and overhead wires.

 NTSB - Remarks of Ellen Engleman Conners
Well, without public confidence in the safety of our transportation system, it will be difficult to keep the traveling public's trust -- and please remember as I began my comments, the transportation system itself was the weapon on 9/11.
This is why we must ensure that public confidence remains secure in our public transportation system, and that means all modes: cars, trucks, rails, boats, trains and planes.
Our recommendations are based on facts, science and data that look at the safety issues to ensure that all transportation is safe; because when you boil it all down, safe systems result in healthier public confidence, and healthier public confidence results in a healthier transportation community.
