Franklin

=PROFESSIONAL PROFILE=

My name is Franklin Paul, I’m 35 years old. My mayor is in urban planning from the [|Simon Bolivar University], Prestigious University in Caracas- Venezuela. I did after-graduate studies at universite Paris Sorbonne.

I’m creating this page because I want to share my knowledge and other authors’ knowledge in the transport systems area. The transport systems are very important in our cities. In Latin America we have many cities with an important progress in the transport area, but we are waiting for a best progress in this sense.

MedMedellin city- Colombiaellin city, Colombia  In our country, some citie s as Caracas, Valencia, Maracaibo, Mérida, Barquisimeto and Maracay has transport systems (metropolitan railway or trolleybus system), and Medium-sized cities has interurban railway system, but we need built a plot more wide.

I am working at [|Infrastructure Ministry of Venezuela]. I’m working specially with a professional group. We are planning the interurban railway system Maturin-Cumana.

=PLAGIARISM IN URBAN PLANNING= In [|urban planning] plagiarism is terrible, when an urban planner copies a design, he is reducing his originality. An effect of plagiarism in urban planning is the Implementation of models that do not integrate with the space. We need to avoid plagiarism, to increase the quality of live in ours cities.

=FRANKLIN'S INTERVIEW=

Mayer: ** Hi ** ** Franklin **** ! You are a famous urban planner, and I’m here because I need more information about your progress and your contribution to the urban planning field ** Franklin : I studied at the Simon Bolivar  University, prestigious university from Venezuela. I major in urban planning Franklin : Yes! I studied at Le Sorbonne from Paris ; I did after-graduate studies in Urban Transportation. Mayer: ** Franklin ****, you were working in a project, it’s an icon in **** Latin America **** … ** Franklin : Yes, Mayer. I did work in an urban development plan, in Maturín. In this plan the metropolitan transport system is the centre. Mayer: ** Franklin **** tell me about the metropolitan transport from Maturín ** Franklin : This system is compound of articulated buses (Trolleybus), these trolleys are the biggest in the world, and this system has its station nearby at the intersection of the central avenues in Maturín. Mayer: ** Franklin ****, why a trolley with three module? ** Franklin : The city’s topography permits that the busses move easily. These trolleys mobilize most of the people. Mayer: ** Can this system integrate all the transport system? ** Franklin : Yes, our system is integrating the city. We have bus periphery (green route). The buses go to various places to the city, where the massive transport (route red) doesn’t arrive. We also have an interurban terminal that integrates transportations system: suburban bus, interurban bus, trains and so on… Mayer: ** And how does this system contribute with the development of the urban plan? ** Franklin : Around the city, we are working in the zoning, creating commercial, financial, and residential areas and so on… Mayer: ** The name of the firm that is working in the development urban plan is PFF. Why this name? ** Mayer: PFF is planning for the future, and this name is because if the cities are not planned, our future generations will endure a chaotic city. Mayer: ** What do you think about the urban planning in ** ** Venezuela **** ? ** Franklin : The urban planning in our country is growing, many cities are planning areas to put people in order, many cities are built integrating transportations system, but we need more emphasis for impel the progress in ours cities.
