The Future of Our Neighborhoods: Stories that Create a Vision
Our neighborhoods are changing. A growing population and a need for more housing are bringing new projects into neighborhoods at an unprecedented rate. Some projects enhance the neighborhoods; others detract.
By engaging our residents about where and how they want to live, we create urban development that connects people to their communities and to each other.
Join Moderator Joan Isaacson at our February Breakfast Dialogue for stories of projects that advance the future of our neighborhoods - through performance and visual art, architecture and design - while fostering economic and community development.
Mike Burnett, Principal at Foundation for Form will discuss the You Got Mail residential project in North Park which is using an urban, mixed-use concept that incorporates the neighborhoods now defunct landmark Post Office.
Rob Schupp, Director of Marketing and Communications at the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System will discuss the success and impact of Trolley Dances, in which patrons board the MTS line for neighborhood stops featuring site-specific dance.
