I don't have an agenda I just find Ideas wonderful.. :-)
Just Listened to CBC Radio Q Quest Joel H. Crawford and his Carfree Cities is a book and companion website created by Joel H. Crawford. The book contains a detailed plan for the creation of a dense, pedestrian-friendly community that could function almost completely without automobiles. In addition, it includes basic information on transitioning existing cities from auto-centric to carfree living.
i haven't yet listned to the pod cast,but in my opinion most of these "carfree" comunities are a little utopian in that they do not allow for the delivery of goods and services not every thig can be done via the internet manufacturing for one.now for the pod cast if i can.
Delivery of goods and services is the biggest challenge and that why he states it would probably not be totally car free.
Just take a tour of Venice.. What a wonderful place to live. Its not perfect but picture the canals as paved roads for public and commercial transportation. and rather than a sprawl but satellite cites where you can go anywhere in 45 minutes with a maxinum of two transfers.
