By 2050, California’s population will have reached 50 million. Accommodating this growth while achieving the state’s ambitious environmental and economic goals will require dramatic shifts in the way we plan communities over the next 35 years. At the same time our state is becoming increasingly diverse and our two largest generations— millennials and baby boomers— are turning the way we think about housing and transportation on it’s head. Technology has provided an opening for major disruptions. From shared mobility and autonomous vehicles to smart grids— the future starts with our plans today. Panelists will discuss innovative strategies for a sustainable 2050 and solutions for getting there. Moderator: Kate Meis, Executive Director, Local Government Commission
