Reid Ewing, National Center for Smart Growth, University of Maryland, and co-author of Growing Cooler: The Evidence on Urban Development and Climate Change (published by the Urban Land Institute), will discuss the book in answering three critical questions that planners, land developers, and policymakers confront in the climate change challenge:

1) What reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is possible in the United States with compact development rather than continuing urban sprawl?
2) What reduction in CO2 emissions will accompany such a reduction in VMT?
3) What policy changes will be required to shift the dominant land development pattern from sprawl to compact development?

This lecture will be available on podcast following the event.
