Friends of San Diego Architecture | "Temporary Paradise?" @ 50 and Beyond

A presentation by Professor Bruce Appleyard San Diego State University

Bruce Appleyard will discuss the "Temporary Paradise?" report, prepared for the City of San Diego in  1974 by his father, Donald Appleyard, and Kevin Lynch. Underwritten by the Marston family, the report  took a look at the binational region and laid out opportunities for managing growth while preserving the  natural landscape. Some of their far-reaching suggestions included redeveloping Lindbergh Field and  North Island Naval Air Station into mixed-use residential communities, building a binational airport at the  Mexican border, and connecting San Diego Bay with Mission Bay by a canal. 

Dr. Appleyard will also present the new commemorative reprint of "Temporary Paradise?" and discuss the  new Appleyard/Lynch Sustainable Scholarship Fund that he has established, designed to support  students and projects working on binational regional sustainability, livability, and equity. The reprints will  be available for purchase through a donation to the scholarship fund.

Bruce Appleyard is a professor of city planning and urban design at San Diego State University. He also  serves as director of the National Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety. Bruce has written numerous  peer-reviewed professional publications, and is the most cited scholar at SDSU's School of Public Policy.  He authored the 2023 "Declaration of Interdependence for San Diego-Tijuana."
