Transporting a Nation
China is one of the fastest growing nations in
the world.
China has a population of 1.3 Billion! Growing at
almost 1.07 Chinas GDP at 1.7 trillion
yuan! Growing at 9.1
China faces big problems But none bigger than
their transportation problems...which the have
handled expertly.
In 2000 the public transportation was at just
16. Since then, its increased to 25 in 2006.
China A Global leader in transportation.
Today, citizens of China can travel between
Asias only 3 megacities via MAGLEV in less than
2 hours. Each other major city will be connected
to this network within 5 years. Within cities,
buses, high speed trains, and subways connect the
entire city in a way that it takes no more than
30 minutes to get anywhere within some of the
worlds largest urban environments.

Burj Dubai

• Will be worlds tallest building by over 300m
  (over the 509m Taipei 101)
• No height has been set yet.
• However, developers have guaranteed
• 800m (minimum 2368ft)
• Atleast 160 floors
• Reinforced concrete buttressed core
• Each of the 3 wings contains its own smaller,
  similar core for rigidness.
• 192, 50m deep piles anchor the building and keep
  it standing.

Designers faced a new task in this building,
having never built something this tall, no one
new how it would reactinnovation was key. It is
so tall, in fact, no one really knows how much
compression will effect the final height.

The tallest twin towers in the world are shown to
the right, which were designed by an American
engineering firm. Less than 100 miles away is an
example of the massive poverty that is common
throughout Malaysia. The future of global
engineering must try to fully understand the
economic and cultural values of
different cultures when building infrastructure
in different countries.
