“…This tool is capable of simultaneously integrating five critical elements of commuting: (1) commuting flows are represented in a specific geographic and economic context [316]; (2) commuting influences the regional distribution of income [317]; (3) commuting affects household consumption structures; (4) commuting is intrinsically linked with the rental prices of housing and business premises [318]; and, (5) commuting is a major cause of energy consumption and CO 2 emissions [319]. These dimensions are widely acknowledged in the literature but the design of a modelling framework capable of incorporating all of them within the context of a specific region is still missing from regional and urban economic studies.…”

This paper brings together several contemporary topics in energy systems aiming to provide a literature review based reflection on how several interrelated energy systems can contribute together to a more sustainable world. Some directions are discussed, such as the improvement of the energy efficiency and environmental performance of the systems, the development of new technologies, the increase of the use of renewable energy sources, the promotion of holistic and multidisciplinary studies, and the implementation of new management rules and "eco-friendly and sustainable" oriented policies at different scales. The interrelations of the diverse energy systems are also discussed in order to address their main social-economic-environmental impacts. The subjects covered include the assessment of the electricity market and its main players (demand, supply, distribution), the evaluation of some urban systems (buildings, transportation, commuting), the analysis of the implementation of renewable energy cooperatives, the discussion of the diffusion of the electric vehicle and the importance of new bioenergy systems. This paper also presents relevant research carried out in the framework of both the Energy for Sustainability Initiative of the University of Coimbra and the Sustainable Energy Systems focus area of the MIT-Portugal Program. To conclude, several research topics that should be addressed in the near future are proposed.

“…It is well known that at the city and urban region levels, rail transit investment contributes to productivity gains (see, e.g., Graham, 2007;Haddad et al, 2015). At the local or neighborhood level, much attention has been focused on property values nearby rail transit projects, especially by economists (see literature reviews by Debrezion et al, 2007;Mohammad et al, 2013).…”

This paper has the main objective, to show the evolution of passenger transport by railway in the metropolitan area of São Paulo (RMSP), with the central point in the capital city, one of the largest cities in the world with over 12 million inhabitants. At first, the Brazilian plan for urban mobility is presented. After, will be discussed the development of railway system in the RMSP and its six lines, focusing the administrative police until the creation of the Paulista Company of Metropolitan Trains (CPTM) and the gradual increase that reached a record of transported passengers: 3,025,185 on December, 2013. Also will be discussed the evolution of built stations as well as the technical characteristics of trains and the improvements through the traction technology. GHG emissions are addressed, making comparisons with others transports. To finalize, the text will be shown future projects of the "Metropolitan Transport Plan" and the conclusions about the service.
