Great cities don’t just happen, they’re planned. Circulate San Diego recently launched #PlanDiego, a region-wide initiative to make planning and land use smarter, more inclusive, and fun!
Circulate San Diego will be releasing a series of position papers, hosting panel discussions, and organizing community events to elevate the discussion of planning and land use throughout the San Diego region.
Below are just a few examples of the type of land use and planning efforts undertaken by Circulate San Diego. Our #PlanDiego effort will build on these successes to help improve San Diego.
