  3. Long-Wave-Theories and InfrastructuresConclusion • There are regular cycles of economic growth. • There are regular cycles in the development of infrastructures. • There is a correlation between infrastructure and economic development. • Each transportation system answers a specific economic requirement and itself has an impact on economic development and settlement structure.

  4. Actual Developments on globalized markets • Increasing spezialisation and complexity of organisation in networks or project companies. • Shiftfrommassproduction (Fordistic) to flexible, individualizedproduction (Post-Fordistic). • Demographicchangesandincreasingimportanceof innovative clustersandregions. • Spatialandinteractionalexpansionofeconomicareasandconcentration on metropolitanareas due toGlobalization. • Temporal distance, not spatial, isthedeterminingfactor.

  5. Settlement Structures in Europe England France Germany

  6. Hamburg Bremen Berlin Hannover Magdeburg Leipzig Dortmund Kassel Dresden Cologne Francfort Nuremberg Stuttgart Munich Vision of a maglev networkfor Germany • 4.255 km (2,644 miles) • 50 DB stations • 10 P&R stations • 14 airport stations • av. 34% time saving to actual systems (~ 1h) • connects smaller regions to metropolitan areas • support of decentralized concentration

  7. Why maglev? • 70th: new systems needed to reach HighSpeed • 90th: railways with 300 – 350 km/h (180 – 215 mph) • Airtravel is adequate system to link metropolitan regions in globalized markets. • Maglev is to bring short international trip times by airtravel into the regions. • Maglev strengthens smaller regions and links them to international markets.

  8. Maglev is the future of modern high-speed transportation. • Which region will give the major impulse for the implementation of this innovative transportation system? • Europe? Asia? America?

  9. Requirements for future transportation infrastructures • Available and flexible • Short trip times despite intermediate stops • Safe and reliable • Low costs • Ecologically consistent • Fit to regional settlement structure. • Interconnect flexible and innovative clusters and regions in a network.
