Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project

Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project
The Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project is a once-in-a-lifetime planning effort for Santa Monica to create a preferred scenario centered on a great park, consistent with Measure LC. The future scenario will enhance connections to the rest of the city, create a quality public realm and increase the quality of life for residents, workers, and visitors of Santa Monica. The public process for this project is consistent with past City Council direction to establish a plan for future use of the land, and to address the community’s interest in the creation of parks, recreation, cultural, and educational amenities and to address community goals and priorities as they relate to current and future generations. To understand the legal frameworks and history, please visit the City of Santa Monica's Project Website.

Virtual Education Session #3 explores the Santa Monica Airport site and context in more depth, highlighting constraints and opportunities to potential future conversion. Opportunities are discussed through the overarching objective of achieving a sustainable conversion to new public-serving uses. Sustainability is explored through the lenses of environmental, energy, and water resilience, economic self-sufficiency, and social equity. Sustainability strategies are explained and a review of select case studies helps to describe the opportunity to leverage similar strategies on the Santa Monica Airport site.
