Transportation and transit systems have grown significantly in importance in the last few decades. Greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation industry have increased faster than population usage in recent years. Does an Increase in transportation options lead to less physical activity and increase the public health cost? How much do we invest to provide options that no one uses? It is time for San Diego to realized the effect of our transportation system and design a solution that incentives ridership and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What in the world is going on?
How do we solve the big global challenges facing our world?

Resiliency is about cities adapting to the change that is occurring in our climate and preparing against future catastrophic events. 
  • How do we prepare for more flooding and increasing drought and wildfires?
  • How do we prepare for sea level rise and spreading infectious disease?
  • Will we see climate refugees and food shortages?
