What inspires me about SMART:
It is just so exciting to get up each morning having the opportunity to work with the SMART family on the most critical challenges confronting this planet. Sustainable mobility provides an integrative solutions approach to climate change, poverty, biodiversity loss, unemployment, rapid urbanization, social justice, and so many of the other challenges we all confront if we are to secure a sustainable urban future. What a joy!
