How do we design cities that truly work for people and planet?
As climate impacts intensify, the built environment becomes one of the most powerful levers for equity, health, and resilience. As part of SF Climate Week, this event brings together leaders redesigning urban systems from the ground up.
Through conversations on housing / transit / materials / decarbonization / public space / community planning, speakers will explore how design choices shape health, justice, and long-term climate resilience.
Join us for an afternoon of ideas, networking, and collective imagining as we explore:
How equity becomes a planning issues
How materials flow shapes community vulnerability
What resilient cities look like in practice
How built environments can reduce harm and expand community well-being
How systems design can push us past compliance toward regeneration
Together, we’ll map how cities can be safer, healthier, and more equitable by design.
