The document summarizes a presentation on sustainable urbanism and transit. It discusses how transportation accounts for 40-50% of carbon emissions and promotes investing in fast and efficient transit to create sustainable communities. It also advocates for increasing transit frequency and prioritizing projects that reduce travel time to attract more riders. Additionally, it encourages designing transit systems focused on high ridership areas rather than broad coverage and considering transit-oriented development rather than park-and-ride facilities.
Starting with lessons learned on a recent trip to Copenhagen, DK this session will explore principles of Green Mobility and showcase successful implementation. The session will explain how Copenhagen has succeeded in becoming not only the world’s best city for cycling but also how to thrive in the economic field while maintaining its rank of the most livable city. We will look at best practices in Massachusetts and see how cities and towns have transformed their neighborhoods into safer, more accommodating, and more livable places while adding choice to the transportation mix.
A presentation conducted by Professor Nick Tyler CBE, Chadwick Professor, Civil Engineering, University College London, United Kingdom. Presented on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013.
Brundtland famously said that sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the
needs of future generations. This seems reasonable enough, but what will be the ‘future generations’ needs? The search for that outcome means a complete rethink of
how we think about the infrastructure that supports a city – including the social, as well as the ‘hard’, infrastructure that enables a city to survive. Unsurprisingly many countries and cities are thinking about this problem but the increase in future well being will need new thinking, new approaches and new substance.

CycleStreets - more than a router (State Of The Map 2013) #sotm13CycleStreets
CycleStreets was one of the earliest UK users of OpenStreetMap, aiming to create an end- user product that solved the challenge of getting from A-B by bicycle in an unfamiliar area in this country. CycleStreets is now a range of products and projects, backed by key players in the cycling community. This 'ecosystem' of offerings includes white-labelled websites for councils and others, apps on five mobile platforms, an API used by third-party transport information providers, and a core website adding value to the underlying routing. Our focus has been on ensuring the routing really 'thinks like a cyclist'. We discuss our project at a time when OSM and cycle routing are becoming less niche.

Reinventing Transit
• Is transit system expansion the answer?
• FTA thinks so. They fund projected NEW riders…
not making it better for existing riders
• Why must transit agencies compete against each
other for a shrinking pie? Do DOTs compete for
road money?
• Why shouldn’t transit compete against highway
projects for solving air quality, mobility and CO2
problems?

Editor's Notes
Why are we talking about high capacity transit today? Because transit is an efficient way to move lots of people…
Processes: Climate change could result in a series of warmer than average springs in California, reducing the snowpack where the bulk of California drinking and irrigation water is stored (Note: the share of all land in ‘constant drought,’ is expected to increase from 2% today to 10% by 2050 (Tearfund, 2006), and/or….
Events: The water supply is also threatened by sea-level rise [projected rise of 17-29 cm by 2050 (Hemming et al, 2007), which threatens to breach levees on the California Delta, salinating the water supply for millions of Californians.
Forced migrants are “People who are displaced from or who feel obliged to leave their usual place of residence, because their lives, livelihoods, and welfare have been placed at serious risk as a result of adverse environmental, ecological, or climatic processes and events.” (Crisp, 2006).
Prediction: 200 million climate migrants by 2050 (Myers, 2005).
People of able means would migrate: History suggest would be migrants would need ‘social and financial capital;’ existing support networks in the destination zone, and sufficient resources to be able to move. (Brown, Oli, 2006)
