Join us as we explore the rapidly changing Alameda Point by ferry and bicycle. We’ll investigate the roles that public transportation, bicycle infrastructure, and parks play in the ongoing development of the island. Recently built landscapes exemplify what’s possible when waterfronts and transportation corridors are designed with a human-centered approach.

Learning Outcomes:

Learn best practices when design facilities for walking and biking.
Understand the high potential for landscape architecture to link infrastructure, innovations, and systems with people and place.
Discover strategies for designing waterfront parks in the face of climate change and sea level rise.
Learn strategies for implementing large-scale master plans
