Community Involvement is a vital part in developing a successful regional Vision Plan. Please join us to discuss:

• Parks and open space resources in the South Bay
• Prioritizing community wants and needs regarding open space issues
• Envisioning the South Bay’s future regional identity
  

The South Bay Green Space and Waterfront Project is a collaboration between the 606 Graduate Studio at Cal Poly Pomona and the California State Coastal Conservancy. The goal of the project is to develop a Vision Plan that examines the relationship between parks, open space, and quality of life in the South Bay.

Significant Case Studies

We have been tasked by the State Coastal Conservancy to look at the South Bay area in terms of the lack of significant parks and open space. As for now, our team is working on a lengthy case study examination to understand significant park projects that have been completed regionally and around the world. We are examining parks that have addressed many of the typologies found within the South Bay, and how they were able to create multiple levels of benefit including community, environmental, political, and economic.

A goal of this project is to show the South Bay community how other areas have developed significant park and open space, and that with support these types of projects are possible.
