Jeff Speck es un urbanista y autor que aboga internacionalmente por ciudades más transitables a pie. Su libro de 2012 Walkable City fue el título de planificación urbana más vendido de la última década. También es el autor principal de The Smart Growth Manual y Walkable City Rules, y coautor de Suburban Nation. En esta sesión, Speck hablará sobre las formas en que las ciudades centradas en automóviles, como Santa Fe, pueden volverse más transitables a pie, en bicicleta, y conectadas. Compartirá por qué la dispersión urbana es tan problemática y los cambios que podrían hacer que nuestra ciudad sea más amigable para los peatones, compartiendo éxitos replicables de otras partes.  

"Tenemos que lograr que más personas vivan en áreas transitables a pie o nunca alcanzaremos nuestros objetivos climáticos". 

-Jeff Speck
