Ever wonder what environmentally sensitive urban planning would look like in the future? Students of the NewSchool of Architecture and Design will present their concepts featuring low-impact development (LID) for the public and city planners during a presentation of “Signs of the Tide: Putting a LID on Pollution,” scheduled to take place Tuesday, Dec. 6 in Ocean Beach. From 6 to 8 p.m. NewSchool students, along with local city planners and developers, will gather at Electric Ladyland Art and Music center, 4944 Newport Ave., to discuss low-impact development and urban development designs aimed at curbing one of the city’s biggest threats to local waterways: urban runoff. According to a statement released by San Diego Coastkeeper, speakers and a city official who are prepared to field questions that day include: • U.S. Green Building Council Board member Edward Beldenwill; • NewSchool Landscape Architecture Department chairwoman Leslie Ryan; and • City supervising public information officer Bill Harris. San Diego Coastkeeper and the NewSchool of Architecture and Design are also partnering with the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association to host the student presentation and forum. Many community planners in Ocean Beach have lauded community efforts toward environmental stewardship. Citywide volunteers often partner with San Diego Coastkeeper and other groups aimed at protecting the region’s waterways and bays. For more information, visit www.sdcoastkeeper.org.
