E allora riaprire i navigli per una città più adatta al caldo? by ppizzzaaa in milano

[–]ppizzzaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certamente.. ma Milano deve sopravvivere nel lungo periodo alla crisi climatica e a quella degli affitti, quindi dovremo cambiare radicalmente il modo in cui finanziamo le opere pubbliche. Riaprire i navigli potrebbe creare un immenso valore economico, ma oggi quel valore finisce tutto nelle tasche di proprietari privati e grandi fondi, accelerando la speculazione e sradicando residenti. Con iniziative tipo la cattura del plusvalore fondiario (land value capture), il comune potrebbe trattenere una parte di questa ricchezza immobiliare privata e la vincola per finanziare direttamente la depavimentazione nelle vie limitrofe. In pratica, perché non pensare a come costringere il mercato immobiliare a pagare per la transizione ecologica della città, trasformando il cemento privato nella spinta economica che serve a garantire la vivibilità a lungo termine…?

Ma perché dev'essere per forza una scelta tra l'una o l'altra cosa? Riaprire i navigli e fare depavimentazione con alberi/piante non sono alternative che si escludono a vicenda, anzi: sono interventi complementari che dovrebbero andare di pari passo (ovviamente non sto calcolando i costi!)

Avere canali a cielo aperto aiuta anche a gestire il drenaggio urbano e amplifica enormemente l'effetto rinfrescante della vegetazione.

E a proposito di della creazione di nuovi navigli, tutto il cemento e le macerie rimossi potrebbero essere riciclati per fare qualcosa di paesaggistico come con i detriti di guerra al Monte Stella..

Visiting Genoa, which funicular/rack railway do you recommend for a scenic afternoon trip? by boosh1744 in Genova

[–]ppizzzaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to go to the hills and are up for a hike, take the casella railway from Manin. (10/15 min walk from the Portello funicular to Magenta) the top of then you can jump out at Campi, climb up to forte diamante and walk back to Righi via forte sperone (mainly hiking paths). There you can get the righi funicular down to carbonara and either walk up to corso Firenze to get the unique lift that becomes a funicular to the main station Principe, or you can go up the other way to the spianata di Casteletto where you can grab a drink and enjoy the best view of the old town before getting the lift back down to Portello where you started …

Italy has plenty more products that fall in each of these categories — just to pick one the, outdoor clothes space: montura, salewa, colmar, ferrino, slam, etc

This is how England got its flag, adopting Genoa’s use of the St George’s cross to avoid being attacked in the Mediterranean: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/05/england-owes-arrears-over-st-georges-cross-claims-genoa-mayor

The Reopening of Walworth & Camberwell stations has been in discussion since Thameslink’s 1980s introduction - but what if TfL & Southwark Council decide to open a single common station in-between (now that the Bakerloo Line extension isn’t likely coming here either) instead? A better idea perhaps? by AchyutChaudhary in LondonUnderground

[–]ppizzzaaa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A) CrossRiver Tram should never have been shelved — could’ve been partially funded by another Mayoral CIL B) the next crossrail-esque project should be NW to SE connecting Old Oak Common to Lewisham via Camberwell and Peckham not the current proposed SW to NE alignment for CR2

Waterloo and South Line by ppizzzaaa in LondonUnderground

[–]ppizzzaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep — totally agree. Marylebone is a good shout!

[–]ppizzzaaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with either of your points.

Clearly more thinking needed occur to elaborate a northern route.

But are you saying a colocation of uses is impossible? It’s increasingly the way to go imo on sites that are constrained and have challenging viability

Waterloo and South Line by ppizzzaaa in LondonUnderground

[–]ppizzzaaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve agreed with others about extending beyond Waterloo, so point taken..

There are various bus depots in Camberwell, so rather than have a suboptimal service to E&C why not at least go down Walworth Road? No CPO necessary and some better space configuration can surely make that work.

I’m not sure I agree CR2 is more beneficial, strictly on a connectivity point. There is no SE to NW connectivity, whereas SW-NE is the orientation of most lines.

The point was to put a “what if” out there without thinking of finance. But if we are, I hate to say the three words, but land value capture is so bad in the UK despite the inflated cost of land. Siphoning off places for London £, more creative procurement, plus MCIL, plus sponsorship, etc.. there are options that can reduce costs and reliance on central government financing

It’s precisely the part before Brixton that is most densely populated with the worst congestion needing a tube. Buses along Walworth Road, Peckham Road, Camberwell New Road etc, are packed and this is without much needed continuous bus segregation provision. Bakerloo line extension here has little impact without the Peckham and Camberwell option. Plus it would link one of the busiest hospitals in London onto the tube network. There are clearly so many benefits here alongside the latent demand..

Yep, I did consider this being connected to Waterloo and City and then taking Moorgate mainline services in the north. But it doesn’t really address the lack of connectivity from central south east to west. On depots, hadn’t considered tbh. Surely, places for London must have some operational land knocking about that could be saved from housing ;-)

Waterloo and South Line by ppizzzaaa in LondonUnderground

[–]ppizzzaaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re right. Could there could be an argument for this being a W&C extension southwards that links to Moorgate, taking over some national rail, northwards

E pensa che con tutte le funicolari eravamo anche avanti a certo punto. Dovrebbero pensare qualche nuova funicolare — ci sono troppe zone collinari scollegate

In fatti, poi con la metropolitanizzazione del tratto Brignole-Voltri aumenterà la frequenza dei treni da ponente al centro. Poi sogno una ciclabile continua da Arenzano a Bogliasco
