Towards Carfree Cities VIII Conference

Towards Carfree Cities 2008 is a conference bringing together people from around the world who work to promote practical alternatives to car dependence. The conference attracts professionals, advocates and community leaders who focus on the creation of sustainable transportation systems and on the transformation of cities, towns, and villages into human-scaled environments rich in public space and community life.

The fundamental role of the conference, which takes place from June 16-20, is to share knowledge and assist the practical work of conference participants, whether it be organizing community events, promoting urban cycling or building the carfree cities of the future.

Join them for Public Day on June 17th to share your ideas, products and services with 1,000 carfree-minded people from Portland and around the world. For information on how to reserve a vendor table, please call (503) 516-2628. There are many other events happening in conjunction with the conference.
