California’s housing crisis has fueled population decline as residents leave in search of more affordable housing (with a loss of 268,000 residents in 2023 alone). Some of the state’s housing advocates have begun to argue that we need to turn to new measures to reverse the decline — perhaps none more provocative than the proposal by California Forever to build a new city on farmland in Solano County.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with Gabe Metcalf, Head of Planning at California Forever, as he shares the project’s vision and addresses the tough questions it has raised. This will be a chance for a look under the hood at one of the most controversial land use stories of the moment, and a chance to explore what lessons the East Solano Plan might offer for meeting California’s unmet demand for walkable urbanism.
