SUMMARY:PacTrans Seminar Series: Sustainable Mobility\, Place-making\, and Economic Competitiveness - Striking a Balance
DESCRIPTION:Organized by The Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium (PacTrans)\nSpeaker:  Dr. Robert Cervero\, Carmel P. Friesen Chair of Urban Studies and Professor of City and Regional Planning at the University of California\, Berkeley and Director of the Institute of Urban and Regional Development (IURD) and Director of the University of California Transportation Center (UCTC) \nAbstract:  \nTransport infrastructure is critical to the competitiveness of cities and regions in the global marketplace. With knowledge- and service-based industries driving economic growth in many sectors of the modern economy\, creating functional yet highly livable and socially vibrant and inclusive cities is essential to global competitiveness and economic well-being. This lecture addresses the challenges of striking an appropriate balance between transport infrastructure as an economic conduit and broader place-making and community-building objectives\, drawing lessons from Asian\, European\, and American contexts. Emphasis is given to striking a balance between building transportation infrastructure for mobility purposes and advancing sustainable urbanism as an economic development strategy. Specific case contexts include freeway-to-boulevard conversions\, new-towns/in-town\, green transit-oriented development\, edge-city retrofits\, and pedestrian-friendly bus rapid transit and high-speed rail systems. Suggestions on how to best strike a balance between planning for mobility and livability will be given. \nPacTrans_Spring2013Seminar_Robert Cervero_April 19_2013
