Aerial Cable Cars: The Future of Urban Transit
By 2017, most people will live in urban areas, bringing congestion and pollution to cities without adequate transportation infrastructure. Take NYC: despite world-class transit options, overcrowded subways and population growth in Brooklyn and Queens strain the system. New subway lines and bridges are expensive, time consuming and disruptive to build. The solution: new technology. The East River Skyway is a resilient, green aerial cable car network that will travel safely and quickly over rivers and streets. Using it and similar projects as examples, this session will show how global cities can use technology to ensure that increased urbanization doesn’t lead to a lower quality of life.
