This documentary from a Future Melbourne 'backcasting' workshop showcases how leading transport and urban development thinkers envisage we might be living and working in a post- peak oil and climate change future.
It can be viewed online (21GB) but will also be shown on the Big Screen at Melbourne's Federation Square (map):
5pm and 6pm Friday September 7, 14, 21 and 28* (*5pm screening only)
12:30pm and 5:30pm Tuesday September 18 and 25, 2007
12:30pm and 4:30pm Sunday September 9, 16, 23* and 30, 2007 (*12:30 pm screening only)
* Where will we live when petrol is too expensive for average income earners to buy? Will the electric car mean business as usual? Will our nature strips be filled with vegetable patches?
* Will we just have to travel less? More working from home? Will we all be living in dense suburbs or apartments and relying on our feet, pedals and telecommuting to transport us?
* Will we our future grandchildren laugh at the absurdity of us having once owned a car?
