| dc.description.abstract | The University of Winnipeg, through its Centre for Sustainable Transportation and its Institute of Urban Studies, hosted an all day symposium on Wednesday April 19, 2006 to review energy futures and their implications for transport and cities. The purpose of the symposium was to draw attention to the potential need for action by individuals, the private sector and government agencies to forestall the worst of these implications. The symposium featured internationally-recognized authorities on the subject of 'peak oil,' including James Howard Kunstler, author of “The Long Emergency.” | en_US |
