Southern California architects, urban planners, engineers, 
science fiction writers, global thinkers and others needed for the:
                
Electric Vehicle and the American Community
NATIONAL PLANNING AND 
DESIGN COMPETITION
                
Electric Vehicles are coming!  One day soon, they will be as much a 
part of our lives as gasoline engine vehicles are today.  Southern 
California Edison and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power 
invite you to help turn the vision of clean electric transportation 
into the reality of electric vehicles on our streets.  You could be 
among the few who will decide how electric vehicles will shape our 
communities and our lives by entering the "Electric Vehicle and the 
American Community Planning and Design Competition."  
                
Teams participating in this national competition will be challenged 
to envision creative solutions to infrastructure adaptations required 
by electric vehicles.  Professionals such as architects, urban planners 
and engineers will work as teams to design convenient recharging 
methods, link energy and transportation policies and demonstrate how 
land and energy use can be shaped to meet the needs of electric 
vehicle users.
                
The sponsors of this competition, including General Motors, Hughes Power 
Control Systems, the U.S. Department of Energy and some of the nation's 
leading regional utilities, want the teams to come up with fresh 
inventive ideas.  Electric vehicles are an entirely new technology that 
has potential to cut smog in Southern California dramatically.  But the 
true heroes will be the planners, architects and engineers who design 
ways to make the technology work in our current environment.
