I recently read this excerpt from a piece on transportation planning and telecommuting by Berkeley professor, Robert Cervero from 1996, and I was wondering what ever happened to this plan for "Montgomery, Ontario". Remember that this is 1996, so the tech might seem a bit dated:
"the village of Montgomery, 89 km north of Toronto, [features] neighbourhood tele-centres, equipped with video-conferencing, on-line data-search capabilitites...that will allow residents to walk or bike to their jobs a few days a week and work at home the other days."
(source: Cervero, R. (1996). Paradigm Shift: From automobility to accessibility planning. 15th EAROPH World Planning Congress.)
