Tonight, June 27 is the world premier of Contested Streets, a production of Transportation Alternatives/Cicala Filmworks. The film:
explores the rich diversity of New York City street life before the introduction of automobiles and shows how New York can follow the example of other modern cities that have reclaimed their streets as vibrant public spaces.IFC Center, there's no time posted anywhere I looked, but I think it starts at 6PM.
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, June 28 in Washington Square Park, there will be a celebration of Jane Jacobs. The celebration will take place near the big arch. Activities begin at 5PM.
And for those reading in Chicago, I really liked the sound of this seminar, "Housing + Transportation: Moving the Region toward Greater Affordability," sponsored by the Center for Neighborhood Technology and the Chicago Rehab Network. More info at CNT. Mostly I liked it because the description combined housing and transportation issues, threw in the potential of finding a solution through technology, and mentioned unveiling hidden costs.
