What might transportation be like in 20 years? This project goes to Long Beach to find out and sketches a vision that can be used to inform policy discussions, professional development, and community-based engagement and educational outreach. Based on research and analysis of the city’s infrastructure, the project explores a day in the life of residents of Long Beach as they travel to work, school and recreational activities and analyzes their transportation needs. The project offers new models of living, working, and economic development – from neighborhood revitalization and climate impact mitigation strategies to small business development in a more localized economy. The project compels us to think about a broad range of transportation alternatives, including re-imagining of how the Port of Long Beach can be reconfigured with ecological and health considerations.
