(Richard Florida) Going Forward: Planning the Region’s Transportation Future in a Time of Crisis

On Wednesday, February 5, 2025 Pepperdine University, School of Public Policy hosted a conference entitled “Going Forward: Planning the Region’s Transportation Future in a Time of Crisis” at the California Market Center, Rooftop in Downtown Los Angeles.
In the midst of a historic catastrophe, Los Angeles and the state of California look to an uncertain future. While the full scope and scale of the destruction is just beginning to be determined, transportation planning will be an important part of the policy discussions about how the region recovers.

Originally organized as a broader conference about transportation planning in California, in light of recent events, the School of Public Policy hosted one of the first policy seminars in Los Angeles in the wake of the fires. Welcoming national and local experts in urbanism, transportation, and technology, we explored a variety of perspectives policy makers might consider as the region rebuilds.

Opening Keynote:
Richard Florida
Author, The Rise of the Creative Class

Moderator:
Pete Peterson, Dean of Pepperdine University, School of Public Policy
