Virginia Planners

especially AICP members seeking 6 CM credits:

Creating a sustainable society is one of the key challenges of the 21st century. This two-day symposium explores conceptions of a more sustainable society by focusing on one of its central everyday objects: the automobile. Nationally and internationally prominent experts on sustainability will join UVa faculty to discuss alternative car technologies and fuels, as well as the effect of cars on our health, city planning, and culture. Panelists include bestselling authors Jeremy Rifkin, Daniel Sperling and Debbie Gordon, car company executives Chris Borroni-Bird (GM) and Burkhard Hunke (VW), battery expert Michelle Buchanan from the Oakridge National Laboratory, cultural historian Wolfgang Schivelbusch, and Wulf Daseking (Director of City Planning in Freiburg, Germany).

The event is free and can provide up to 6 CM credits *
