Integrated NetworkCities - NextBiz

We have been living and going on with our business as usual for all these days...

But, what if fast-forward and agrregate the bad, ugly, good and the best into that future Habitat...visualize NextBiz!

Yes. much of the things we currently see and our incrased capacity to move beyond mother earth. We may then are going to shrink our commute to regular grocery shpooing, shcool, offices and travel long and hard. Comfort zones of habitats that hold plants and animals and its transit cooridors teach us the same pattern of living and interaction. We being the elite among them, human habitat would be a enhanced habitat - cities, neighborhoods, with transit cooridors connecting them.

Our cities, then need to be self-sufficient, integrated and highly inter-connected. Do we have that nextgen systems and infrastructure? Can we upgrade and adopt standards and systems to reach that ideal state of Integrated NetworkCities? what would be that nextbiz - state of business organizations and institutions like? We are leaving with more questions that we are already trying to answer...

rapid real estate development - not the solution for growth!

The recent economic slow-down in us economy and its far reaching effects in other industries and nations, point to structural issues in banking and real estate industry.

Rapid real estate growth without long-term, intergrated, multi-sector growth strategy...will yield un-predictable market crashes.

The cumulative slump in real estate industry drag down banks that provided loans and used the papers in the wall street. This is a pattern of lending and real estate in many countries. But when market slump moves as under-current in the economy is not addressed reagionally and at sector level, it affect the whole economy. During the recession, even unrelated auto sector use the weekness as reason for government bail outs or bridge loan requests.

The commercial papers generated within a sector like 'real estate' shall be evaluated at a different rate and not be overly (beyond a ratio) used for investments in other sectors. Un controlled use the real estate commercial paper in wall street is a mistake. When the real estate sector slump occur, that drags down the other sectors that use those 'poorly performing' commercial paper from real estate.

yes. create housing banks, industrial banks, auto banks etc. etc. to deal each value chain, debt or credit issues seperately... instead of having over-grown, un-focused, growth hungry, overarching, multi-national banking firms... with all the bad apples in the single basket. These are the learning point, shared with new administration also.. Unlike in schools, we cannot mix good students and bad students in same classes and always expect good results...some gets stressed out wthout incentives, some good ones perform poor, some bad performers gain the same bailout benefit...

Moving with unity!!

What are we doing here...!

We all have a mobile shell 'car/truck..' moving side by side along a path 'road'...

if we all people moving in unison along single path between transit points...can we put all these people and goods on single larger carrier.. and move...between such transit nodes...that happens only in an ideal world!!

But that is where the multi-mode travelling happens...Then, that the 'last-mile travel' at 'own will' using 'own car/truck'... that is a real-issue for such commuters...

Transport carrers can solve this issue...by providing incentives to travellers for that 'last-mile'...

intersting subject to discuss and lots of venture opportunities here...

Parks and Recreation Trails:

Parks and Recreation Trails:

Urban and rural pedestrian and cycle trails planning need to be a standard component of design and planing of communities. These trails can link people to fresh natual spaces.


The local materials and plants can survive for long, if such trails are planned as part of conservation around residential, schools, parks, commercial areas.

In the long-run, in the absense of such elememnts, cities and regions would grow without green space buffers. This helps natural habiat and healthy environments for people to live and entertain.

Mobile resources and Operations management

Mobile resources and operations management

With the increasing mobility and ubiquitous connectivity, companies are expanding and diversifying operations in markets with many unfamiliar conditions. City and Regional market resource database and mobile task management is an important component for any solution in this area.

City and Regional administrations, industry chambers, companies all have thier parts of the responsibility to organise and maintain a coordinated mobile work environment. Such environment would be a long-term incentive for business to operate and sustain in the coming future. The BartiNet vision for a Community, business and administration partnership would go long way to create a progressive market condition.

Transportation Knowledge Manegement

It is important to have a world-wide knowledge base management system. The solutions to design, create or resolve transportation systems are univeral in nature. The Wheel became a technology became a equalizer for Transportation Design and Planning systems across countries. There are differences in quality, material and practice of solutions from place to place.

Travel types, mode, road categories, standards, distances all these parameters are universal to transportation planning, irrespective the nationality. A knowledge management system may contain those topics at the root level of the knowledge texonomy.

This tropic require extensive discussion and information gathering. All contributions are welcome.

Chamber of Trade/Commerce and Private Partnership

Business initiatives in Cities:

Urban centres continue to influence growth and transformation in many developing countries. The trend is very intensive where economic policies are liberal and integrated with global markets. The links and network betweek Chanber of Trade and Commerce with cities and regional apex bodies are becoming very key aspect of development initiatives in many countries.

The developed countries have demonstrated the benefits of urban management bodies cooperation with local Chambers. The rate of investment, skills, employment and technoology flow help those cities to build stronger economies.

City Hierarchy and management issues

The extent, complexity and solutions applicable for ideal management of cities varies from one City to another. The conditions of the cities vary with factors like citizen participation, administratiion, infrastrcuture, business operations, historic identity etc.
The importance of corporate management policies and standards are evident while reviewing hierarchy of Cities and showing diaprities in rate of development. The disparities occur in different parts of any country as a case, with same legal and economic framework.

Development Projects - start with a vision & plan

evolution of cities and towns....
yes. they grow from simple halmlets, to villages, towns, city and Metros...

But, where we start..

it should all start with a Vision, then a Plan forward...
