  • Smart Cities: The Future of Urban Infrastructure

    The 11th annual Martin Wachs Distinguished Lecture, hosted at Berkeley, featured a panel of transportation and planning experts: Jeff Morales, Ryan Russo, Tom Maguire, Maria Mehranian, and Susan Shaheen. The talk addressed the fact that with increased capacity and greater mobility undergirding economic viability and quality of life comes congestion, increased energy consumption, air pollution, and urban sprawl. This current dilemma and hypermobility demands a transport agenda for this global era to be set.

  • Designing the 30-Minute City

    The 12th annual Martin Wachs Distinguished Lecture, held at UCLA, was presented by David Levinson. The 30-minute isochrone has long defined people’s use of cities — from ancient times through the trams era to modern times. There are opportunities to use design to reduce the costs of travel and thus increase access for relatively little monetary outlay. This talk discussed both the measurement of accessibility, why it matters, and how it might affect traveler behavior, institutional behavior, and public policy.

  • TransportationCampLA @ UCLA
