Sponsor of the first regional land use study of
the new millennium of the San Gabriel Valley. www.sgmrc.org | RECONNECTING THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY:
A Planning Approach for the Creation of Interconnected Urban
Wildlife Corridor Networks (July 2000) | Reconnecting... is the first of the new major studies which help to define land planning and wise land use for the future of the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California. Increased building, development, and population pressures within the Valley have been exacerbated by an absence of current, regional planning documents for the San Gabriel Valley (SGV). Reconnecting is an American Planning Association (APA) Award Winner (2001).
Reconnecting..., the first of the SGV land use planning documents for the new millennium, offers a great variety of usable topics and information to assist in providing cities, organizations, nonprofits, agencies, land use groups and citizens with a valuable new educational tool. Outcomes anticipated include wiser decision-making processes, multiple approaches to regional planning, and balanced perspectives for designing projects with more sustainable principles and economic viability. The document is the first substantial study and comprehensive collection of planning concepts, plus new data and research focusing on the San Gabriel Valley since the 1930s landmark studies of the Olmstead Brothers. Findings and recommendations by the outstanding graduate research team offer new perspectives and new hope for preservation and prosperity in the SGV.
Reconnecting... is user friendly with follow-up recommendations for case study examples and implementation. Reconnecting... is usable for city planning decisions and workshops, grant writing resources, community master plan development, classroom curriculum, and armchair reading. Reconnecting... is an independently-sponsored regional study generated within the SGV. Reconnecting is the baseline document for the new, multi-stakeholder, multi-year Upper San Gabriel River Watershed Management Plan/Committee, funding provided through Prop 13 (2001). Other grants are being funded using this significant tool, baseline resource and database.
Reconnecting... was featured in the August 2000 Special Report/Series on the San Gabriel River by the SGV Newspaper Groups. Commissioned for and introduced in the study is the original landscape painting, "The River" (July 2000), authentically representing the San Gabriel River. Nationally known Wildland Artist Fariad has captured beyond belief the timely renaissance mood that is spreading throughout the Valley.
