UVic Café Historique: Cars: The Surprising Ways Personal Mobility Changed our W...

Event Description

Humans developed a taste – no, a hunger -- for personal mobility in the latter part of the 19th century and produced the auto-mobile at the dawn of the 20th. Carriage became “car” and changed every aspect of life, from how we get to work, to how we work, eat, celebrate, make love and die. As the inheritors of a world built for cars, we need to know our auto-biographies before we can build a world designed for humans.
