SMART 2009 Conference Participants

What inspires me about SMART:

If we can help connect the disparate dots on land use, lifestyle and mobility to make a more sustainable, accessible, and livable society, we will have helped change the world in a way that is desperately needed. Through sponsoring research, pedagogy and service, we can help the region, country, and planet tackle this tangle of complex systems and issues.
