Event Summary:

San Diego is a patchwork of neighborhoods, ethnicities and unique landscapes. No two are alike but yet they all share the same desire for a livable and citizen centric environment.

 

There are 42 community planning groups where citizens and businesses bring their concerns and vision for their neighborhood.  While their budgets are small, these groups are the voice for quality of life concerns when the City Council must consider new development.

 

New Eco-Districts a being created and economic prosperity is being sought through local community development.  

Sustainability and health need to be considered to make our neighborhoods cleaner and greener. 

 

 Is the goal self-sufficiency in energy, water and transportation?  To create walk/bike friendly streets? To promote business districts? 

 

Join us to hear how we can plan our communities with an ecological vision that will create a San Diego that we can proudly call America's Finest City.
