summary of the Melbourne of train William J.Mitchell​

Answer 1

Answer:

theorist and planner on urban and transportation issues, died on June 11 after a long battle with cancer, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s news office. He was 65.

Mr. Mitchell was one of the world’s most respected theorists about the future of the city and the automobile. “He likened tomorrow’s cities to living organisms or very large-scale robots,” said an M.I.T. news release, “with nervous systems that enable them to sense changes in the needs of their inhabitants and external conditions, and respond to these needs.”

Mr. Mitchell was the Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. professor of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences at M.I.T. and the former dean of M.I.T.’s school of architecture and planning. He was also the vital force behind the Smart Cities research group at M.I.T.’s Media Lab, which offered ideas of “smart cities” and new automobile designs.

“A major portion of this new urban infrastructure focused on revamping urban transportation as we know it and included the development of the CityCar, a lightweight, electric, shared vehicle that folds and stacks like supermarket shopping carts at convenient locations and has all essential mechanical systems housed in the car’s wheels,” said M.I.T. “Other Smart City innovations include the folding electric RoboScooter and GreenWheel, which turns an ordinary bicycle into an electric-assisted one.”
