Designing Our Own Solutions (Marin City, Marin County)

Team: P + SET

The Permaculture and Social Equity Team from the Resilient By Design challenge proposed a social design process to build community capacity in leading the challenges of coastal adaptation and resiliency planning.

The team was invited to implement their process in Marin City by Shore Up Marin, an environmental justice and resiliency planning organization. Out of the process grew a capacity building program, resulting in an inspiring People’s Plan to authentically reflect the aspirations and intentions of the resident community. An intergenerational cohort expanded existing knowledge for assessing and addressing risks, developing near and long term strategies with a prioritized set of projects for early partial implementation.
