Building a Vision for Redlands, California

Panel Discussion Features Esri President Jack Dangermond and Local Community Leaders

Esri President Jack Dangermond and several leaders from the City of Redlands, California, will form a panel discussion that seeks to forge a vision for making the city an even better place to live.

University and K–12 school leaders, city government staff, police, and conservationists will participate in the forum moderated by Mr. Dangermond. Topics will include current issues,
the many different facets that make Redlands special, what needs to be preserved, and
the vision for the city. Panelists will bring both strategic and practical ideas from their respective fields.

The ultimate goal is to take the ideas generated from the forum and apply them to the GeoDesign process for improving the city. Based on concepts found in Ian McHarg's seminal Design With Nature, GeoDesign integrates geographic science with design, resulting in a systematic methodology for geographic planning and decision making.

Attend this special event that will help shape the future prosperity, beauty, and livability of Redlands.

Panel participants:

• Jim Appleton, President, University of Redlands
• Jim Bueermann, Chief of Police, City of Redlands
• Larry Burgess, Director, A.K. Smiley Public Library
• Jim Holmes, President, Redlands Community Hospital
• Sherli Leonard, Executive Director, Redlands Conservancy
• Enrique Martinez, City Manager, City of Redlands
