The eighth-largest city in the U.S., San Diego is one of the most livable and sustainable major metropolitan areas in the nation. An innovative pioneer in the smart growth movement, the San Diego region has no shortage inspiring models for creating transit-oriented, compact development; transforming downtowns and ethnically diverse, older neighborhoods; designing walkable, mixed-use urban villages; preserving parks and open space; military base reuse, and fostering the emergence of leading high-tech, telecommunications and clean-tech businesses.
Explore the power of public-private partnerships with North Park Main Street, the district’s historic preservation-based economic development organization, and North Park Redevelopment Project. A tour of mixed-use, affordable and transitional housing projects will demonstrate infill that is compatible with the neighborhood’s design and demographics, starts at Art Produce art and culture hub.
Recent groundwork has been set for a sustainable community planning and visioning initiative that will benefit the local economy, environment and historic preservation—as well as reconfigure the main thoroughfare by replacing parking with bike caravans. Since North Park has a strong farm-to-table movement and artisan beer craft, the tour ends at a brewery for a toast to accommodating change that benefits all residents and the multiple colors of the neighborhood’s history.
