1. China’s rapid urbanization has dramatically increased the need for public transit infrastructure. To accommodate these changes, it’s estimated that China needs to expand urban rail by at least 3,000 kilometers by 2020—approximately a $4 trillion investment.
2. In Chinese cities, funding for large-scale urban transit infrastructure traditionally comes from two sources: sales of land development rights and bank loans. However, these approaches can not only financially burden city governments, but also lead to costly urban sprawl.
3. The city of Shenzhen has been successfully experimenting with alternative approaches to overcome these significant challenges. Shenzhen’s experience demonstrates that financing transport infrastructure by harnessing the value of land can also be an opportunity for sustainable transit-oriented development (TOD) in Chinese cities.

Product Spotlight - Lubricant for Natural Gas Engine & Regulation for Food Grade Lubricant
1. In circumstances where natural gas is available as a fuel for piston engines, it can be burned under workloads ranging from very low to very high while engine rotational speed is often kept constant. Typical uses of such engines are in the oil and gas industry and in electric power generation where such tasks as compressing natural gas are common.
2. As more processes are automated in food production and reliance on machinery increases, there are more pressures on food processors operating with reduced work staff. These companies have higher goals for yields and waste reduction in production facilities while plants and operators are under time pressures with less emphasis on personnel training and education.
