Paper Abstract:
|
The societal transformations facilitated in part by geospatial design technological advances have brought new challenges
to territorial planning. This paper analyzes the evolution of geospatial design and planning education in the United States
by emphasizing the criticality of sustainable transportation planning in facilitating the partial resolution of some of the
land use transportation problems commonly found in environmental justice communities. The paper is in six parts. Part
one is a review of geospatial design and planning education in the United States. Part two progresses from education to
desired planning skills and a smart cities framework. Part three is an overview of the dilemmas found in environmental
justice communities. Part four explains why technology based on vehicles alone will not create more sustainable
transportation. Part five is the case study of an environmental justice community in Albany, New York. Finally, part six
makes some concluding remarks. |
