BENETTON'S MAGAZINE: COLORS 70: Beijing Chronicles. : GlobalGiants.com
Monograph on the Chinese capital presented in the city.
Beijing, March 6th, 2007 -- In the run up to the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing is undergoing a rapid transformation (as is the whole of China) from a city of ancient culture to a capitalism-driven megalopolis. The city is seen through the everyday stories of its inhabitants narrated by two of Fabrica’s young Chinese artists. Beijing is the protagonist of COLORS 70, the new issue presented today in the Chinese capital at a roundtable with Luciano Benetton; Marco Mueller, head of Fabrica Cinema and China expert; and Chinese film director Zhang Yuan.
Distributed in over 40 countries, published in three editions and four languages, Colors is a quarterly magazine read by young people around the world. Founded in 1991, from an idea of Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani, and based on the conviction that diversity is positive and all cultures have the same value, today Colors is part of the publishing activities of Fabrica, Benetton’s communication research centre. |GlobalGiants.com|

Siemens Technology for London : GlobalGiants.com
London has traditionally had an efficient public transportation system. Europe‘s second-largest conurbation has the world‘s oldest and largest subway system and a famous network of 700 bus lines that carry some six million passengers daily. In the future, a satellite-supported system from Siemens that can record the positions of 8,000 buses in real time will shorten travel times and use more than 2,000 displays to inform waiting passengers exactly when the next bus will arrive. Many suburban, regional and intercity rail lines run trains supplied by Siemens, complete with services and maintenance, as do the two airport links Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect. Siemens also supplies technology that monitors roads and automatically identifies license plates in conjunction with the road toll system in central London. Many of the city‘s traffic lights and other traffic systems are from Siemens, and so is the ultramodern automation technology used by numerous buildings such as the famous high-rise of one of the world‘s largest reinsurer, Swiss Re, theaters in the West End and the Tate Modern and Tate Britain galleries. Siemens supplied fire-detector systems for Canary Wharf, one of the city‘s largest office-building complexes, and surveillance camera systems to increase safety in the city‘s railroad stations. Siemens is also bringing innovation to the British Office for National Statistics, where 250 million paper documents – the birth, marriage and death certificates of all British citizens since 1837 – are being converted into digital files. In addition Siemens is supporting British Telecom‘s construction of its next-generation 21st Century Network. And London clinics such as the Royal London Hospital and Barts Hospital are making long-term investments in high-tech equipment from Siemens, which will supply them with the latest medical technology for the next 35 years. The Siemens equipment already in use here includes imaging and network systems for diagnostic and treatment purposes. |GlobalGiants.com|

Siemens Technology for Mumbai : GlobalGiants.com
India is becoming an increasingly attractive business location. That‘s especially evident in Mumbai, which generates 38 percent of India‘s gross domestic product and has a broad range of industry that makes it an economic, trade and fashion center. Mumbai is also the home of the world‘s largest and most prolific film industry, nicknamed “Bollywood.“ Mumbai‘s population density reaches levels that cannot be fathomed in Europe. For example, one square kilometer in Mumbai has to accommodate 29,000 people; in Berlin it’s only 3,800. Some 200 different languages and dialects from both India and abroad are spoken in Mumbai, where millions of people ride the commuter trains from the suburbs to the city center every day. Siemens has been commissioned by the Indian Railway Ministry to supply the drive systems and complete electrical equipment for 170 three-section trains. That includes pantographs, transformers, traction and auxiliary inverters, traction motors, a train control system and a passenger information system. The systems, which have been adapted to local climatic and environmental conditions, will reduce energy consumption by up to 30 percent and lower maintenance and servicing costs. The Grand Hyatt Mumbai hotel has also been adapted to the city‘s extreme climatic conditions. Thanks to ultramodern building technology from Siemens, pleasant temperature and humidity levels can be preset and kept constant throughout the hotel complex. An automatic fire alarm system and surveillance cameras enhance the safety and security of hotel guests and personnel, and the state-of-the-art communication technology meets the highest international standards. In the healthcare sector as well, Mumbai is increasingly relying on high-tech solutions. The Jaslok Hospital and the Saifee Hospital use medical technology from Siemens that includes magnetic resonance tomographs, ultrasound units and complete X-ray systems. |GlobalGiants.com|
