Meeting of the Minds Conference
Meeting of the Minds Conference
This conference provides a unique platform for leading automotive technologists/engineers, who focus on designing cars and buses, to share their future visions with leading urban planners and designers, who focus on the built environments which house more than half of humanity.
Approximately 150 participants are leaders drawn from the public sector (particularly big city mayors); the private sector (auto companies; urban design/planning and development companies); independent sector (academia, NGOs and media). They spent two full days re-imagining 'the big picture'; learning from cities successfully adopting neighborhood-based solutions; debating vehicle and innovating new surface systems; identifying the critical tools which we need in order to move forward.
The Conference features many Berkeley faculty including Daniel Kammen, Inez Fung, Elizabeth Deakin,
Harrison Fraker and Severin Borestein.
