Building off my work for the New Cities Foundation last year – specifically my report “Now Arriving: A Connected Mobility Roadmap for Public Transport” – I’m pleased to join the foundation’s inaugural new mobility festival, LA CoMotion, as its director of strategy.
Scheduled to take place November 15-19, 2017 in the Arts District of Los Angeles, LA CoMotion is arguably the first of its kind in the United States, a five-day event focused as much on how we live, work, and play – not to mention walk, bike, and ride – as it is on vehicles and technology. Global VIPs and Angelenos alike will be invited to create the future together in the streets of Downtown LA in conjunction with our partners, including LADOT, Gensler, Piaggio Fast Forward, Project for Public Spaces, UITP and many more to come.
My job, I’m excited to say, is to curate the collaboration among our sponsors and partners to create an event that doesn’t devolve into a World’s Fair-like spectacle of a future perpetually just over the horizon, but contains the germ of a new future for Los Angeles and cities around the globe. I hope you’ll help us – please visit the site to request an invitation, or join us as a partner.
