Peter Calthorpe - USHSR NYC 2011 from Steven Skemp on Vimeo.
The above presentation is by Peter Calthorpe, who along with Andres Duany is considered the prime visionary of Smart Growth for the Bay Area and now Vision California.
His firm, Calthorpe Associates helped create the vision for Portland, Oregon and was the prime consultant for advocating the urban plan for St.Vincents/Silvera Ranch in the early 1990s. That plan envisioned 7000-9000 homes and was soundly rejected by local Marinwood/Lucas Valley residents.
The NEW AND IMPROVED for Marinwood/Lucas valley is "Smart Growth" filling our neighborhoods with hi density housing, rezoning our single family homes to multi-family apartments and reduce lot sizes. As you watch the video, you need to ask yourself, "where have these "Smart Growth suburban cities actually been successful ?" see: Debunking Portland: the City that doesn't work/
