ALESSANDRA LUNDIN

We worked collaboratively with the community, the client, and the project team to improve the sustainability and livability of the unincorporated communities of Ashland and Cherryland in Alameda County. Elements of the Urban Greening Master Plan included a widespread, bilingual community outreach program and interactive data collection tools such as an online data input tool where community members could compile data and help determine the “green score” for their street. I assisted with research, mapping, and facilitation of both traditional and pop-up community workshops at the local farmers market. This project coordinated with ongoing County efforts such as the Economic Development Strategy for the area and the Public Health Element of the General Plan, and included gathering knowledge from and collaborating with local food and community health programs already in place.
