Discussed in the latest Metropolis online magazine, the Urban Age Institute recently had a meeting to discuss the possibilities of a sustainable future in terms of smart transportation and smart cities. From the website, they summarise;
“There were some big names presenting solutions that ranged from community shuttles, rapid transit lanes and social-networked ride-share boards to biofuels and electric cars; but amidst the high-profile speakers, planners and auto execs alike worried that without public buy-in to approve the funds or purchase the energy-efficient vehicles, any innovation would fall flat.”
