In June of 2013, 270 Silva Cell decks and 470 Silva Cell frames were installed along 2nd Avenue NW between 10th Street NW and 9a Street in the Kensington neighborhood of Calgary, Alberta to support 7 new trees that were planted that summer as well as to enable on site stormwater management. This site was developed as a pilot project site demonstrating how a dense, commercial street can manage stormwater directly on-site using trees and soil as green infrastructure.

A shorth branch linked the NER station at Tynemouth with the former Blyth & Tyne alignment at the coal depot at the former station. The line was at the south end of the station and passed under this road bridge. I would be interested of any pictures of this line in use

In the near future the bridge will move to another location because of infrastructural changes in this area (extension of the rail tracks).

This 1956 12-cylinder Nordberg radial engine services a small municipal power plant in the Midwest, USA and is perhaps the last remaining example in operating condition. It is no longer in regular operation, but it is maintained to serve as a peaker unit when needed.
Good old Tobin Bridge. As corroded (and green) as I remember. This is probably the last vestige of highway infrastructure that reminds me of what was once called the "green monster," which was the elevated I-93, which ran through and above Boston's downtown business district (now replaced by the underground I-93 "Big Dig" tunnel).
Press Release l June 21, 2018
Peoples’ Convention on Infrastructure Financing Challenges AIIB’s Reckless Lending:
People Vow to Resist Attempt to Usurp Natural Resources & Livelihood in the Name of Development
Mumbai: Political and social activists, academics and financial analysts included, a large number of people gathered at the inaugural of Peoples’ Convention on Infrastructure Financing in Mumbai, ahead of the Annual Meeting of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), decried investments of AIIB and other international financial institutions (IFIs), causing displacement, dispossession loss of livelihood and propelling inequality and social unrest.
Speaking at the occasion eminent economist Professor Arun Kumar, questioned the development model pushed ahead by IFIs in the pretext of ‘development for all’ as their only aim is profit-oriented growth at any cost. He raised the pertinent question of ‘development for whom’.
“AIIB has created a super structure, an ecosystem which acts as a complex web of shining terminologies and projects to attract investments, which actually is a smoke screen to hide the fact that there’s no human development happening” senior activist Medha Patkar said in her speech.
Raising concerns at the crackdown of activists by the government, she lamented, "Show us one state where the people opposing the projects have not been jailed to raise their concerns about the environment, and right to life and livelihood. Recently, people were fired upon in Thutthokodi, Tamil Nadu, when they demanded a pollution free environment to live”.
Financial analyst and journalist Sucheta Dalal said that the Indian banking system is at the verge of crisis, reeling under the mounting bad loans, caused by unfettered corporate loans. Referring to government’s announcement in the Parliament that Rs. 2.4 lakh crore bad loans are written off, she said that “ if farm loan waver was proposed the world would have gone on a spin, while the loans of big corporations are written off and there isn’t a whimper.”
The inaugural ceremony of the three-day Convention started with music of resistance by cultural groups. Other speakers included Sreedhar, Environics Trust; Shaktiman Gosh, General Secretary, National Hawkers Federation; Leo Colaco National Fishworkers Forum / World Forum of Fisher-people; Roma, National Secretary, New Trade Union Initiative (NTUI).
Senior activist Ulka Mahajan asked, "Is land a commodity to sell to forcefully silence farmers by giving them some compensation to build infrastructure project?” She added "the land feeds generation of people by providing food,” while reminding that it will be difficult to bring back the fertility of land. "If raising issues of the marginalised is sedition, then we will continue to do it,” she emphasised.
The Peoples’ Convention on Infrastructure Financing is a 3-day confluence of people’s movements, civil society organiations and concerned citizens to deliberate about international financing and strategise a collective voice to hold these financers accountable for their impacts the lending is causing.
Background:
Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the two-year-old multilateral bank, is investing in all major sectors, including energy, without robust policies on environmental-social safeguards, transparent public disclosure and an accountability/complaint handling mechanism. Out of the total 24 projects, it has financed, USD 4.4 billion has already been approved. India is the biggest recipient from AIIB with more than 1.2 billion USD supporting about six projects including Transmission lines, Capital City Development at Amravati, rural roads etc. with another 1 billion USD in proposed projects.
About Us:

A list of the network is available here.
