"Local Financial Impact Review Issued October 5, 2021." "This report was undertaken pursuant to Section 6B of Chapter 11 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which grants the Office of the State Auditor's Division of Local Mandates (DLM) authority to review any aw or regulation that has a significant financial impact on local government"--letter of transmittal.

The focus of this book is on industrial infrastructures of production and circulation, from power distribution and roads to dry ports and airports. It looks at how these infrastructures underpin visions of progress and mediate relations between the state and capitalist firms in industrializing districts in Punjab, Pakistan.

This text brings together differing geographic perspectives in modeling and analysis in order to highlight infrastructure weaknesses or plan for their protection. Offering new methodological approaches, the book explores the potential consequences of critical infrastructure failure, stemming from both man-made and natural disasters. The approaches employed are wide-ranging, including geographic, economic and social perspectives.

ISBN: 9789282101681 (English language) - ISBN: 9789282101698 (version française) ; International audience ; Determining future transport infrastructure needs is traditionally the first stage in the investment planning process. However, this process generally takes place within the framework of national transport policy, even in cases where the infrastructure is used for international traffic flows. This report proposes to address this issue by considering the specific needs of international traffic flows with regard to inland modes of transport. Obviously, these issues will be shaped by the way in which traffic flows develop over the next few decades, since new infrastructure needs and the associated financing problems clearly depend on the pace and scale of such growth. This uncertainty would be dispelled if growth were to remain zero or very close to zero. In the opposite case, namely if average growth rates were to be higher than 1.5% to 2% in European countries, growth in traffic raises the issue of the so-called decoupling of transport from economic growth. We must therefore begin by dispelling these uncertainties regarding a possible decoupling, or at least by stating the assumptions underlying the situation in which we find ourselves. ; Croissance et financement des besoins futurs en infrastructures. - La détermination des besoins futurs en infrastructures de transport constitue traditionnellement la première phase de l'exercice de programmation des investissements.

Le présent rapport se propose d'aborder cette problématique en considérant les besoins spécifiquement liés aux transports internationaux et en nous limitant aux transports terrestres.

Dans le cas contraire, qui serait celui d'une croissance moyenne supérieure à 1.5 à 2 pour cent dans les pays européens, les évolutions des trafics renvoient au problème dit du découplage entre les transports et la croissance économique.
