THE 2006 LEON HOFFMAN URBAN TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE Sustaining Los Angeles: Shaping the Future of Our Expanding Region Keynote Speaker: S. Gail Goldberg, Planning Director, City of Los Angeles Friday, October 6, 2006 The DeCafe Conference Room, Perloff Hall, UCLA 8:15 am – 4:30 pm • What does sustainability mean for the Los Angeles region? • What lessons can we draw from past experiences? • What are the policy objectives, challenges and opportunities for a sustainable future? Policymakers, practitioners, and theoreticians will join together to discuss our regional natural and built environments in relationship to social, political, economic, cultural and ecological concerns. Our goal is to help clarify problems, identify relevant factors, discuss plausible actions and explore new approaches. The day-long event will consist of plenary talks, panels and interaction among speakers, panelists and attendees. We hope to generate new interaction and involvement among all those participating, to understand new computer-assisted decision-making methods about complex systems that can be applied to issues of sustainability -- in the context of deep uncertainty about economic, environmental and demographic futures -- and to set the stage for further work with these methods.
Stan Hoffman talks wtih Urban Planning’s Robin Liggett and Neal Richman.
