Sustainable Cities Final Presentation

From the SF Bicycle Coalition:

We’ve been working with three Stanford University students throughout their winter semester to create a toolkit of resources as part of our Women Bike SF program we’ve just launched. Informed by our membership, other organizations throughout San Francisco and research on similar initiatives throughout the world, they have been putting together resources to increase bike ridership among women, trans* and female-identifying individuals in San Francisco.

Please RSVP here if you can attend.

Sustainable Cities is a service-learning course offered through the Program on Urban Studies and Earth Systems Program. Students learn and work collaboratively with Bay Area government agencies and community organizations to support their sustainability goals. Now in its sixth year, the class attracts undergraduate and graduate students from a multitude of disciplines, ranging from urban studies to civil and environmental engineering to law and public policy majors, to support clients on meaningful fieldwork-based projects.
