Envisioning A Pivotal Boston/Cambridge Juncture as an Everlasting Garden

Fall is lovely in New England. The brilliant foliage helps make it the busiest tourist and conference season. So it wise for those planning to come to ATRA’s “Knowledge Nexus” Charrette this coming October 10-11 to make early arrangements. A Charrette is a multi-party brainstorming party with no political weight. It can be fun. A lot can be learned.

PRTi@LHR

ATRA has organised its first conference in Europe. The PRT conference at London Heathrow on April 21-23 attracted 120 delegates (picture). The conference seems to have covered its costs with support from BAA and others.

Malcolm Buchanan (chair ATRA Europe) presided over the conference in BAA facilities at the airport. Conference organisers PTRC and BAA had made an excellent job in the planning of program, facilities, site inspections and logistics.

March 6 Conference Envisions Mode Shifts with Personal Rapid Transiti

A group of about 75 urban planners, engineers, architects, local officials, and other innovators gathered March 6, 2009 in downtown Oakland to focus on designing a mode shift to personal rapid transit (PRTi).  The objective of the conference was to stimulate thinking – and action – on reconfiguring metropolitan mobility for the 21st century.  The underlying issue was the challenge of reducing carbon and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).  Although the issue is national and global in scope, this conference featured and emphasized persons and themes relevant to the San Francisco Bay Area of California, which has aggressive policies to embrace “Smart Growth” and reduce GHGs.
