SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Economic crisis in the megaregion

"As a result of the recession, some Central Valley communities are facing an acute economic crisis. From Modesto to Stockton, the concerns go far beyond foreclosures and unemployment. What are the origins of this crisis and how do they relate to the Bay Area? This forum will look at the recession through the lens of the megaregion, a framework that relates causes and impacts across Northern California. With geographers and planners Alex Schafran and Hugo Lefebvre."
