SPECIAL EVENT
Sustainable Mobility & Cities Conference
February 23, 2012 | 8AM-6PM | David Brower Center, 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley | $75 (Advance Registration is Required)
 |
The third of three major events in the 2011-2012 Conference Series on Urban Sustainability, sponsored by the Ted and Doris Lee Fund at the College of Environmental Design and the Boalt School of Law, managed by the Institute of Urban & Regional Development.
The urban transport sector's environmental footprint is profound and continues to grow– around a third of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in U.S. cities comes from the transport sector. The debate on how to shrink the urban transport footprint has divided along two lines: arguing for technological solutions (e.g., clean-fuel vehicles; smart cars), and arguing that policies (e.g., congestion pricing) and land-use management (e.g., TOD) that reduce the demand for car travel provide a better solution. The debate and rhetoric has become fractious and at times divisive. In modeling how to comply with AB32, for example, CARB (California Air Resources Board) estimates that some 90% of the targeted CO2 emission reductions will come from technological advances and a much smaller share (5% or so) might come from land-use initiatives like TOD. Many smart-growth policy advocates dispute this. The technology versus policy debate could very well be a false dichotomy. Is it possible that the two might effectively work together in tandem, promoting cross-purposes? Need the two points-of-view always be at loggerheads? Might there be synergies/win-win outcomes associated with aggressively pursuing the two strategies in tandem.

EXHIBITION
Caroline Lavoie: Landscapes of the American West
January 22-Feb. 24, 2012 | Mon.–Fri. 10 a.m.–2 p.m. | Wurster Hall Main Gallery
 |
The themes in the exhibit are interrelated: from desert landscapes to landscapes of water/rivers, to winter and mountain landscapes; from very quick sketches to longer ones; and from the large-scale to smaller details in the landscape. Drawing in the landscape creates an awareness of place that is a distinct form of information-gathering and of understanding the landscape.
Caroline Lavoie is a landscape architect/conceptual artist who investigates landscape representation and perception as part of the design process in landscape architecture. She is interested in theoretical frameworks that influence the design of urban spaces and urban cultural landscapes as well as in the ideas that attempt to address some of the limitations in the design process. One part of this creative investigation explores the metaphorical forces of movement as a process for the creation of spaces in landscape architecture. Her work on drawing has been published in the prestigious Landscape Journal — a special edition on representation — Sketching the Landscape: Exploring a Sense of Place.
