walk21 here we are, ready to add to the collective

Cabcorner is green because it makes use of already existing structures and infrastructures to create a secondary product that not only helps to cut down on pollution and traffic, but in it of itself is something that requires no further production inputs beyond the collective participation of its users. It is an infrastructure that is built through the participation of the collective. It serves not to create another thing but to streamline already existing systems by simply providing users who are already using these pre-existing structures, a way to use them more efficiently and by virtue of those gains in efficiency, also more effectively. Urban environments have to remain high functioning, beacons of modern socialization. And to do this effectively, they must evolve with the changing demographics towards denser urban populations by creating systems that instead of side stepping this inevitable evolution, leverage it for positive solutions. Summits and conferences like the one that Walk21 hosts, are imperative for the brainstorming and creation of such systems.

It is a product we can create, here and now. It is a system that gets better, easier and more efficient the bigger it is. The larger and broader its reach becomes, the more effective it will be in helping to push those already existing structures towards greater levels of efficiency. It simply requires the commitment of the collective to make a choice for cheaper, more environmentally friendly and communal habits when it comes to taking cabs in New York City.
