| | | NPSG12-163 | | From Temporary to Sustainable Paradise: "Smart Growth Catalysts" and The Battle for Planning in the San Diego/Tijuana Region Speakers: Dahvia Lynch, AICP, Project Manager, Department of General Services, San Diego County; Bruce Appleyard, PhD, Associate Research Professor, University of Utah; Michael Stepner FAIA, FAICP, New School of Architecture and Design; Carlos Graizbord, Former Director of IMPlan, Professor of Urban Planning, Universidad Iberoamericana; Brian Mooney, AICP, Principal, Mooney Planning Collaborative The panel explores the Roles NGO's can play as "Smart Growth Catalysts" in assisting local government in developing public policy for long range planning. As a framework, the panel will build upon the historic 1974 bi-national urban design plan for the San Diego/Tijuana Region, "Temporary Paradise?" by Kevin Lynch and Donald Appleyard, father of Dr. Bruce Appleyard. The C-3 plan goes beyond traditional planning programs that are limited by jurisdiction and integrates both sides of the US/Mexican Border to address sustainability issues for the environment, economics, land use, social equity, and life systems. The ultimate goal is to assist the region in the implementation of plans and programs that not only preserve and enhance the unique San Diego/Tijuana environment but build on its multi-cultural and education assets.
