In 2050, the fates of 25 million people may fill an area from the Pacific Ocean to Reno, and south to Fresno. What will this future look like and what is being done to plan for it? Political leaders as well as regional planning bodies are working with NGOs and think tanks in a variety of areas to address the political fault lines, open space preservation concerns, economic prospects, and transportation options. Monday on City Visions we will take the long view of San Francisco, the Bay Area, and its future integration with the Central Valley.
What attempts at regional consensus building are being made across the Bay Area and Central Valley, as well as across the numerous interest groups? Which issues will prove the most difficult to agree on? How can the public involve itself in the planning process and which issues will be decided by the voters?
Guests:
- Elizabeth Adam, director of communication, Bay Area Open Space Council
- David Hosely, president, Great Valley Center
- Egon Terplan, director of economic development and governance policy, San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association
