urban design opportunities
In Conclusion // There are many alternative futures, and rather than simply wait and hope for the best, we must pick which ones to support through our designs, advocacy, and partnerships with our counterparts in the automotive, technology, and public sectors. // The most visionary design strategies and concepts will be bold, intentional, and aware that new technology is a means to achieve larger goals for our cities and societies. // Representations of the built environment are powerful tools around which to shape a dialogue. As urban planners and designers, we have the opportunity to envision how an emerging technology — AVs — can lead towards more equitable and livable cities. At the same time, we must not be naive. It is our responsibility to advocate for these principles and use our agency to realize the cities we envision.
