- Southern California architects, urban planners, engineers,
- science fiction writers, global thinkers and others needed for the:
-
- Electric Vehicle and the American Community
- NATIONAL PLANNING AND
- DESIGN COMPETITION
-
- Electric Vehicles are coming! One day soon, they will be as much a
- part of our lives as gasoline engine vehicles are today. Southern
- California Edison and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
- invite you to help turn the vision of clean electric transportation
- into the reality of electric vehicles on our streets. You could be
- among the few who will decide how electric vehicles will shape our
- communities and our lives by entering the "Electric Vehicle and the
- American Community Planning and Design Competition."
-
- Teams participating in this national competition will be challenged
- to envision creative solutions to infrastructure adaptations required
- by electric vehicles. Professionals such as architects, urban planners
- and engineers will work as teams to design convenient recharging
- methods, link energy and transportation policies and demonstrate how
- land and energy use can be shaped to meet the needs of electric
- vehicle users.
-
- The sponsors of this competition, including General Motors, Hughes Power
- Control Systems, the U.S. Department of Energy and some of the nation's
- leading regional utilities, want the teams to come up with fresh
- inventive ideas. Electric vehicles are an entirely new technology that
- has potential to cut smog in Southern California dramatically. But the
- true heroes will be the planners, architects and engineers who design
- ways to make the technology work in our current environment.
