金球奖和奥斯卡奖得主Brad Pitt解说,e2 交通向我们展示了全球各地尝试解决交通相关问题的不同方法,前途和初步行动,注意力不再是更多地放在设计和替换能源上,而是站在更全局的人类活动以及城市化的角度上。

Based on the economic principle of demand managment, London’s congestion charge challenges the 20th century notion that cities should be designed around cars, and asks drivers to pay for access to public roads and parking spaces. Thanks to visionary municipal leaders like Deputy Mayor Nicky Gavron, this plan is the core of a sweeping push to transform London into a transit- efficient and pedestrian-friendly megacity in time for the 2012 Olypmic Games.

Paris’ ambitious public-private Velib bike initiative encourages residents to forgo cars for bikes and public transportation. In the process, the programme has fostered a unique popular culture, complete with its own language, jokes and pick-up lines. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe has undoubtedly taken heart: Its success has inspired cities like Sao Paulo, Venice and London to begin adopting similar programmes of their own.

In the 21st century global food economy, most foods travel an average of 1,500 miles from farm to plate. As renowned author Michael Pollen elaborates, the impacts of this fossil fuel-driven system are detrimental to the environment, but also to our health and social well-being. Writer Michael Shuman argues that investing in local food systems lessens the distance between who we are and what we eat, and creates wealth in the community.

In 2003, the city of Seoul took a rare step “back in time,” demolishing a major downtown freeway to uncover and restore the ancient Cheonggyecheon stream that once flowed beneath it. An impressive feat of engineering, the project re-purposed nearly 75 percent of the dismatled highway material for reconstruction and rehabilitation of the stream’s banks and commercial corridor. The Cheonggyecheon is now a vital part of the city’s commercial and tourism sectors, and has proven that environmental restoration can revive culture and community, as well.

Thanks to a progressive public transportation protfolio that includes train, steetcar, bus and aerial tram, Portland has become a global model of transit- oriented development (TOD). For more than 40 years, city planners have uniquely integrated transport decisions into urban growth and development efforts. The result: Portland is consistatly ranked as one of the country’s most livable cities, boasting a healthy two percent population growth annually

  • and the second lowest per capita transprtation spending of the 28 largest U.S. metropolitan areas.

Even if regional transportation becomes more efficient, people and goods will still need to travel the world. This episode looks at new technologies and policies that could offset the aviation industry’s substantial greenhouse gas emissions, such as Amyris Biotechnologies’ new synthetic jet juels, and Hybrid Air Vehicles’ second generation of dirigible airship. To reduce fuel emissions, industry leaders like Boeing are also advocating towing planes on runways and implementing smarter air traffic control systems.
