I was the program manager for AECOM’s contribution of both the model places and real places studies to SPUR’s 2070 Regional Strategy. I was the key point of contact, prepared for and co-facilitated six external stakeholder workshops, createdcontent for final outputs, and managed inputs from AECOM’s urban design, landscape architecture, transportation, sustainability, and economics teams, SPUR, and from external stakeholders. The strategy was a multi-year initiative to envision a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous Bay Area for all — and propose bold strategies to get there. The strategy leverages the Bay Area’s strengths in innovative and progressive governance to address the enormous challenges it faces, from the cost of housing to the threat of sea level rise.
