TOWARDS CARFREE CITIES VII AUGUST 27-31, 2007, ISTANBUL: CALL FOR 
PROGRAMME PROPOSALS AND OPENING OF REGISTRATION

This year's conference theme "Building a Livable Future in a Changing 
Climate" emphasises the potential and urgency of addressing global 
climate change through the creation of high-quality, carfree human 
habitats, while also hinting at the growing potential for change in the 
social and political climate.
   World Carfree Network and our hosts the Turkish Traffic Safety 
Association are now seeking programme proposals on this theme in any of 
the following four categories: (1) presentations, (2) debates/strategic 
discussions/project development meetings, (3) interactive 
workshops/activities, and (4) actions/excursions/on-site visits. In 
addition, we are accepting submissions of short films for the video 
night, posters or other installations for the exposition space, and 
street reclaiming activities for a pedestrianisation action. 
   Proposals of 1-2 pages in length can be sent in English or Turkish to 
<istanbul(at)worldcarfree.net> by April 30, including a title and 
description of your proposed activity, the applicable sub-theme(s) 
(Climate Change, Political Change, Socio-Economic/Cultural Change, or 
Change in the Physical/Spatial Environment), the anticipated or desired 
outcome of the activity, any relevant personal information or 
experience, and your full contact details. 
   The early registration period will begin on February 10 and close on
