Our Border/Bi-National Region: The Resurgence of Tijuana

Online Registration Is Now Closed.

Walk-in registrations will be taken at the door as space permits. 

The bi-national future of the Tijuana-San Diego cross-border region has been on the radar screens of citizens and public officials for several decades.  Unfortunately, the combined impacts of post 9/11 Homeland Security, concerns about drug smuggling, and a global recession have slowed down cross-border planning projects for nearly a decade. Now, over the last five years, the pendulum has swung back.  San Diego and Tijuana are ready to plan and build an infrastructure that embraces our cross border futures.

This breakfast dialogue will introduce San Diegans to some emerging urban development projects and activities that define Tijuana’s economic and cultural resurgence over the past half decade.
