Dang! Two important events crossing over. Web2.0 Expo and EcoCity World Summit. I recommend the later if you can make it – runs through Saturday in San Francisco.
A Green City is an ecologically healthy city. No such city presently exists. ..
…Instead of trying to improve an unhealthy automobile and oil based infrastructure, this conference calls for the city, town and village to be redesigned around the measure, needs and potential of the human being and based upon ecological principles.
…Specifically it calls for urban diversity at close proximity, instead of scattered uniformity. It calls for land uses, architecture and a steadily and rapidly growing infrastructure for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit, powered by renewable energy sources and balanced with preservation and restoration of natural and agricultural lands and waters.
I’ll be at Web2 till mid-day Friday, then down to San Jose for the Home Show and back in SF for EcoCity on Saturday – if you’re attending any of these let me know and lets connect!
