CLCA LA/SGV Chapter President, Brandy Williams, will be a panelist at this event.
Our urban landscape could be so much more than it is today. A true force for fighting climate change and restoring habitat as well as addressing issues around social equity, food access, health, and wellness. The goal of the discussion for this event is to discuss why our urban landscape is what it is today and how we can work more collaboratively, more intelligently, and use the tools we already have to make our urban landscape in LA more than it's ever been.
