Carsharing, or more broadly, shared-use vehicles, is one of the innovative strategies that could be integrated into smart growth policies to reduce vehicle miles traveled, congestion, and degrading air quality. Carfree housing is another mobility option being examined to reduce the negative effects of travel. Carfree housing refers to residential developments that have restrictions on the number of cars that residents can own, limited parking availability, or increased parking costs.
Researchers examined the predicted travel, emission, and economic benefits of carsharing and carfree housing. They simulated three innovative mobility scenarios forecast to 2025 using an advanced regional travel demand model. UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies | ITS.Berkeley.edu.

L’imaginaire géographique. Compte rendu du Café Géographique du 26 mai 2015 (Paris, Café de Flore) Intervenant : Pierre Jourde, écrivain, universitaire, polémiste Modérateur : Daniel Oster. Universitaire, romancier, poète, polémiste, auteur d’un blog sur le site de L’Obs, Pierre Jourde accorde à la géographie, ou plus exactement à l’imaginaire géographique, une place importante dans son œuvre, ainsi qu’en témoignent plusieurs titres de ses ouvrages (par exemple Géographie de Vialatte, de l’Auvergne à la Rhénanie, Champion, 2000).
Pierre Jourde (photo JP Muller/AFP) 1-Pierre Jourde, quelle est l’origine de votre fascination pour la géographie et particulièrement pour les cartes ? Cette fascination a d’abord été celle de l’enfant rêvant devant des cartes, les cartes des Atlas périmés où s’étalaient les vastes surfaces roses des Empires coloniaux. Une carte, ce sont des lignes et des formes qui interrogent sur les limites, les structures, les liens entre les lieux. 2-Comment cartographier l’imaginaire géographique ?

Les géographes se sont penchés sur la géographie de la consommation, qui tend à se substituer à la géographie du commerce. 1.
Noël et le commerce distractif Nathalie Lemarchand, « Marchés de Noël et vitrines des grands magasins : un exemple du commerce distractif », Métropolitiques, 12 décembre 2014. Les vitrines des grands magasins et les marchés de Noël mettent en évidence les territoires commerçants distractifs et leurs fonctions : magasins et centres commerciaux participent à la mise en scène des rites sociaux associés aux fêtes de fin d’année. Nathalie Lemarchand, Géographie du commerce et de la consommation : les territoires du commerce distractif, HDR ; 2008 Le commerce de détail est passé d'une fonction de distribution associée à la société de production à une fonction distractive associée à la société de consommation.

Eric Sadin: «Il est impératif de contenir la puissance du technopouvoir» Ecrivain et philosophe, Eric Sadin analyse les changements induits par la numérisation de notre monde. Après l’ Humanité augmentée. L’administration numérique du monde, paru en 2013, il publie la Vie algorithmique. Critique de la raison numérique, aux éditions l’Echappée. Une charge contre le «technopouvoir» emmené par les Google, Apple, Facebook et autres Amazon, qui capte tous nos faits et gestes via nos smartphones et objets connectés. Une marchandisation de nos existences au nom d’un «Big Data» orwellien, infaillible et tout puissant ?
Dans la Vie algorithmique, vous décrivez un homme assisté dans toutes ses actions par une intelligence ambiante nichée dans les smartphones, les écrans, les murs de la maison. La généralisation d’Internet, à la fin du XXe siècle, a institué «l’âge de l’accès», soit la possibilité de consulter, à distance, un volume infini d’informations numérisées.

Yet another creation has rolled off the powerhouse infographics assembly line over at Pop Chart Lab, and this time, the indefatigable taxonomizers of alcohols and famous quotes have turned their attention to works of architecture.
The Schematic of Structures organizes what the designers describe as "90 eminent edifices erected and perfected throughout history. " Arranged by height, the infographic lines up some of the greatest works envisioned and built by man since prehistory, from the Neolithic Cairn of Barnenez and the Parthenon to more modern creations like London's Gherkin and the Burj Khalifa. The White House even makes an appearance. Designed in imitation of a blueprint, the infographic is expansive in scope and information (if not extraordinarily innovative in execution).
The buildings are presented along a simple grid design, and drawn in two different scales (so as to allow the 2,722-foot-tall Burj Khalifa to appear on the same poster as the 25-foot-tall Stonehenge).
