Former Mayor of Bogota, Colombia, Enrique Peñalosa, will be speaking in New York City on March 22nd. It's worth trying to make a trip up to see him speak. For more information, check out this profile of Mayor Peñalosa from the Project for Public Spaces website, and this is the link to the event. And if you go, if you go up early, you can take in the exhibit "Livable Streets: A New Vision for New York," which closes March 29th.

As Mayor of Bogotá, Peñalosa built hundreds of kilometers of sidewalks, bicycle paths, pedestrian streets, greenways, and parks. He also organized regular ciclovías (including the one seen here).
