Auto-City or Eco-City? South Hill School, Tuesday, March 25th, 7:00-9:00 PM
Robert Morache, chair of Connect Ithaca, will give a PowerPoint presentation in the South Hill Elementary School Cafeteria, Tuesday, March 25th, 7:00-9:00 PM. The presentation will consider how our un-wavering accommodation of the automobile as the primary means of urban mobility has become a limit to Ithaca's growth and development, and is eroding urban quality of life. The presentation will offer an alternative vision of urban mobility and real estate development which sheds light on the pivotal role that re-thinking transportation inside and outside the city can play in moving Ithaca towards a more environmentally sustainable, economically competitive and socially vibrant future. The presentation will also consider the urgency with which our community needs to re-arrange its transportation priorities, in order to cope with escalating energy costs, the peaking of world oil production and global climate change. An open discussion will follow. Robert Morache is an Ithaca resident, architectural and green building design consultant, and has taught design at Syracuse University. He is chair of Connect Ithaca, a group committed to forwarding fresh thinking about transportation and urban design. Connect Ithaca thanks TCLocal for its help, and especially thanks the South Hill Civic Association for sponsoring this presentation.
