Foundation For A Doublewide










The Capsule Hotel Shinjuku 510 was built two decades ago in Tokyo, Japan. Its plastic cubicles measure about two meters long by 1.5 wide and high. For about 440 euros a month, you can sleep in one of these niches also enjoy clean sheets and common areas of the hotel, including sauna and communal bath. The capsules do not have doors, but a small panel that low. They are equipped with light, television with headphones, racks, blanket and pillow.


long time ago in the ancient Japanese hotel owners encountered a problem that is currently very much on the west, the relationship between land scarcity and price each increasing Room hotel.
To solve this dilemma did not think anything other than go to offer comfortable rooms with private bath and a long list to make available to the users with tight living quarters of just two square meters, are called capsule hotels.
Agglomerations of small "minihabitaciones" mostly aimed at an audience male executive, in which only one may be lying, so if you usually have a built-in television, where no shortage of pornographic channels, air conditioning and alarm.
Most of the public that this service is for business people due to the distance at which leave their homes found them impractical to return home at night. It is also common abode of those who can not return because of the drunkenness that carry over.

A solution at a reasonable price (25 euros a night on average), but even if we consider the prices they can achieve in this country fairly decent hotel rooms. Now, get to see how long till we can see something like the old continent.

My No Xplode Expired Can I Still Use It

10 things that make it habitable a city. Cv

agree with some points on 1, 2, 4 and perhaps the tenth, the other I seem a bit romantic or inaccurate. ISon21 by

1 - Abundant parks.
are the lungs of the city. From the Renaissance "Giardino della Guastella of Milan's recent" Discovery Green "in downtown Houston, the parks provide a place to breathe, relax and connect with nature, and counteracting the effect of" heat island " caused by the tarmac, acting as natural water collectors. Green spaces have always been considered essential to improve physical and mental health of city dwellers.
2 - efficient public transport. While
Beijing, Dubai or Lausanne premiere brand new and very modern subway systems, transit officials in Mexico City, Istanbul and Los Angeles have made dramatic improvements simply by entering the bus lane. No matter if the solution is simple and is based on high technology, we should offer people an easy and quick to arrive to their place of work regardless of the car. Only then can we have clean cities.
3 - quality public spaces.
addition to roads and neighborhoods with huge buildings, city dwellers have to have areas where you can walk and where to meet. Not only is this pedestrian historical center - for commercial and conservation reasons - people need space to the scale of size and speed.

4 - Track bike
As cities become larger, heavier traffic increases and increases distances. But we can make transportation by bicycle is not problematic or unsafe: building their own ways in which to run safely, providing places to park, establishing systems of shared public and bike riders allowing buses to transport their machines or meters distances longer.

5 - Green Buildings
For city buildings need not be simple moles, more or less aesthetic, business or hotel wrapper.

6 - comprehensive program recycling and composting
basic environmental action at the individual level, it will not be imposed as a cultural norm without an organized system that provides different places to deposit the waste. The most advanced initiatives go beyond the separation of cans and bottles, garbage and organic electronics, we must introduce more far-reaching programs for water recycling, for example.

7 - Empty spaces and half-used
Good planning is the key to a green city. Against the growth and expansion without measure must implement recovery and recycling projects existing spaces. Hamburg, for example, has converted its obsolete port in a stroller, a residential space, offices and shops.

8 -
committed leaders do not have to go to city hall by bicycle, as Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, "enough" to promote good drainage and collection systems and water treatment , mandatory solar installations in new buildings or renovation, public transport clean and efficient ... A leader alone, without support would be exhausted in a vain attempt, but for an educated and demanding is easier to acquire the most appropriate leaders.

9 -
smart energy policy renewable energy purchasing and establishing measures to improve efficiency, cities can influence the economy and help develop a market for organic products, while reducing their environmental impact and reduces costs. Phoenix, Arizona, for example, gets all its energy from renewable sources and all construction must go to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

10 - Work and Play
greenest cities in the markets held plethoric of aromas and flavors, where commercial transactions take place but also gastronomic, musical ...
