Towards Carfree Cities VIII:
Rethinking Mobility, Rediscovering Proximity
June 16-20, 2008

The Towards Carfree Cities conference series brings together people from around the world who work to promote practical alternatives to car dependence. The conference attracts professionals, advocates, and community leaders who focus on the creation of sustainable transportation systems and on the transformation of cities, towns, and villages into human-scaled environments rich in public space and community life. The fundamental role of the conference is to share knowledge and assist the practical work of conference participants, whether it be organizing community events, promoting urban cycling, or building the carfree cities of the future.

This year’s International Car Free conference theme is intended to promote discussion of urban livability, mixed-use development, local agriculture, pedestrianization, strong neighborhoods, accessible public space, and sustainable transportation.

This year Gil Penalosa, a pioneer of Bogota’s carfree ciclovia movement and executive director of the Canadian organization Walk and Bike for Life will deliver a keynote speech on Tuesday, June 17.
