We are still savoring the wonderful learning experiences we encountered during the Shanghai residency with visits to The New Development Bank, Xintiandi developer Shui On Land Ltd., the Shanghai Development Research Foundation, Shanghai Clearing House among many others.

The LA Residency examined innovative policy and legal frameworks for addressing climate change, adaptation, and pollution. A few of the big ideas: Make fact-based decisions and take science-based actions. Provide clear, sustained targets for industry to work towards. Progression from funding R&D to incentives and standards = success. Importance of sufficient – but not excessive – lead time. Collaborations can leverage technology pe*******on. The monetary cost of pollution exceeds the cost of clean-up. Understanding and leveraging the age of low-cost air monitors and citizen-based science will be critical to managing policy risk and advancing protective public policy.

New Global MPP brings together diverse cohort, expands views on shared challenges

The Global MPP Class of 2018 embarked on a boat tour of one of the greenest ports in the world. Port of Long Beach Director of Environmental Planning, Heather Tomley, led an inspiring tour. Big idea: the power of incentives in the absence of regulatory authority to change behavior, reduce pollution and address climate change.

USC Price School Dean Jack Knott and HKU Dean of Faculty Social Sciences, John Burns, hosted a welcome dinner for the first Global MPP cohort at the beautiful California Club in downtown L.A.

On the first day of the LA residency we took time to adjust to the new time zone and get to know one another enjoying a tour of The Getty Center and a bike ride along Santa Monica Beach. https://flic.kr/s/aHskWm11xE
