San Diego’s Growing Pains: Preservation and Sustainable Development – A Panel Discussion
November 15, 2008
Architect Michael Stepner moderates a panel on San Diego’s Growing Pains: Preservation and Sustainable Development. Joining Stepner will be Bruce Coons, Executive Director of Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO); Lawrence A. Herzog, Professor of City Planning in the School of Public Administration and Urban Studies at San Diego State University; and Dr. Tracy Delaney, Public Health Nutrition Manager, County of San Diego, Health & Human Services.
The panelists will discuss growth, preservation and sustainability, not only how they are applied in their own fields, but how they relate to each other and to everything needed to provide the quality of life desired in San Diego.
Last May FSDA hosted a panel that discussed San Diego’s Future as a World Class City. So many specific issues were brought up in that session that FSDA decided to explore several of them during this year’s lecture series. It has dedicated its 2008-2009 programs to issues such as civic art and public buildings, campus housing and coping with growth, universal design for an aging population, the highest and best use for the San Diego Bay, greening our open spaces, and discovering how young architects view San Diego’s future. In May the final program for the season will be another panel discussion, Call to Action, moderated by Architect Howard Blackson.
