Team: PERMACULTURE + SOCIAL EQUITY (P+SET)
Rather than wait for a natural disaster, the San Francisco Bay Area is proactively reimagining a better future by creating a blueprint for resilience that harnesses Bay Area innovation and serves as a model for communities around the world. Teams of engineers, architects, designers and other experts will work alongside community members to identify critical areas throughout the Bay Area and propose community-based solutions that will strengthen our region’s resilience to sea level rise, severe storms, flooding and earthquakes.
