SANTA MONICA—The city of Santa Monica will host Santa Monica 2050 on Monday, February 24 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Santa Monica Main Library to strategize how to best prepare the city’s economic future. In alignment with existing long-range plans related to the environment and land use, Santa Monica 2050 seeks to identify strategies to maintain economic vitality and enhance community wellbeing.
From June 2018 to November 2019, Santa Monica 2050 aimed to identify global trends. From September 2019 until November 2019, the program aimed to understand how global trends impacted Santa Monica and surrounding regions.
