The demand for public safety in Southern Nevada is exasperated by asocial behavior, gang-related crime and the homeless. What can the AIA and architects do through their work and community efforts to make this a "Place" that is safe for residents and tourists alike?
How much more of the valley can we pave over? Extending and expanding our roadway system is just about at its limits. Both roadways and expressways are not only expensive to construct, but they're even more expensive to maintain. Indirect costs associated with roadways affect all of us through demands for gasoline to travel farther for daily trips - and for more power for air-conditioning our houses at night. What examples of alternative modes of transportation does the AIA and the local architectural community support - and how is that support provided?
How can sustainable community development be enhanced through transportation and transit?

We would like to thank all of the focus group charrette participants that inspired our late night discussions.
