Envisioning a Living Infrastructure for Future Shorelines



Presented by Nate Kauffman | www.n8kauffman.com

Thursday, February 25 - 6:45 pm
UC Berkeley, Wurster Hall
Presentation | Panel | Reception

By envisioning our shoreline as a cornerstone of health, prosperity and resilience for our region and the future, LEAP issues a call to action for citizens to demand better, for politicians to rise to the occasion, and for the institutions of the Bay to respond in a spirit of cooperation.

There will be a panel discussion to explore progressive strategies for strengthening our communities, improving our natural and built environments and imagining a better Bay.
