It was my first experience of bar-camp style unconference. Quite inspiring! I hope more urban planners would engage in this discourse. You may know well about the concept of <a href="http://www.transitorienteddevelopment.org/" rel="nofollow">Transit Oriented Development</a> (TOD). TOD is a kind of very trendy term currently in American urban planning. Portland in Oregon is the signature city that has been putting enormous efforts to shape the city based on the public transit system. Even LA started to take this approach to improve their notorious automobile-driven city structure. I just happened to think, since the planner's world mostly considers the hardware side of transit, if we can bring an innovative operation system simultaneously at the planning stage from the making, that would change the city better.
