Peter at US HSR Conf.

At the New York conference of the US High Speed Rail Association held on November 8th 2011, Peter Calthorpe explained the importance of changing the way we design our communities in response to a paradigm shift in lifestyle needs. Increasingly, the need is to provide communities with choices in the form of diverse housing stock, affordable transit and a healthier way of life. High speed rail and transit infrastructure provides the neccessary groundwork for a network of land use patterns that help in achieving these goals.
