Belitopia
- Publisher: Lee Atchison
- Total Episodes: 13
This is the world of “what if”. What if we had continued the space race, what would our space footprint look like? What if we had invested heavily in a transportation infrastructure around the globe, how would that change how we get from point A to point B today? What if we decided as a species that world hunger was not acceptable, how would we have solved it with technology? What if we had solved the autonomous car problem 50 years ago, how would that have changed how we worked and played today? What if sustainable energy was standard practice for a generation, how would that change how we interacted in our world today? From the space program to high speed trains. From bridges to artificial intelligence. From pop culture to politics. From war to religion. Belitopia is about the world of what if. What if, different decisions were made in our history? Different priorities held by our leaders? Different politics involved? Let’s see the world as it could have been, perhaps should have been, and might still become. Welcome to Belitopia.

Transportation and land use accounts for one-third of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Many people look to national and international governments to find answers to the climate crisis, but local and regional actors possess a unique potential to address this crisis. Localized approaches that change the way we move through our city can drastically reduce overall emissions and preserve natural resources and open space. This month, on San Diego in Motion, we speak with San Diego based groups working hard to achieve a more sustainable transportation culture, from making cycling safer and more accessible to expanding public transit networks to create a safer, healthier, and more sustainable transportation culture across the region.

Josh Cohen, National Policy Director at TransLoc, wants to start that conversation by building relationships with and sharing ideas from today’s leaders who are imagining and implementing change.
