PLANNING FOR ECOLOGICAL CITIES
Is the auto the most convenient and efficient way to move people around inside our cities? Does increasing car traffic diminish the quality of life in our neighborhoods and city centers? Is the use of the automobile sustainable in a future of climate change and escalating energy costs? Has the automobile actually become a limit to economic growth and urban vitality? You are invited to attend an international gathering in Ithaca, NY, that will consider these questions and explore alternatives to car-dependent mobility which will significantly contribute to the evolution of sustainable cities.
Program note: we met the manager of the conference, Christer Lindstrom, last year in Irvine when he gave a fabulous presentation on the use of podcar transportation and how energy efficient it is. Christer Lindstrom is the founder of IST - Institute for Sustainable Transportation, co-founder of the General Transportation Fund and Encitra LLC. Christer is also a member of the Swedish Center Party, and is currently managing the Ithaca Conference.
