About [Edit]
Greenbelt Alliance is the Bay Area`s leading land conservation and urban planning nonprofit.
Our mission is to make the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area a better place to live by protecting the region`s greenbelt and improving the livability of its cities and towns. Since 1958 we have worked in partnership with diverse coalitions on public policy development, advocacy and education.
With the help of field representatives, since 1996, Greenbelt Alliance has been successful in securing twenty-one Urban Growth Boundaries in Alameda, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma counties. Greenbelt Alliance remains instrumental in preserving open space and protecting the quality of life in the Bay Area.
In our vision, the Bay Area remains one of the country’s most desirable places to live, work, and visit. Our cities and towns have attractive, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with a vibrant mix of housing, shops, restaurants, and offices. The Bay Area’s communities are linked by buses, trains, and bike paths, and are bounded by a protected greenbelt of rolling hills, productive farmlands, lush watersheds, and plentiful parks.
Our work:
• Help cities and counties establish reasonable urban boundaries that allow for future growth while preserving
the greenbelt.
• Educate and mobilize communities to stop wasteful sprawl developments that pave over open space, increase traffic, and pollute the air.
• Lead educational hikes and tours for more than one thousand Bay Area residents every year through our Greenbelt, Youth, and Urban Outings programs.
• Endorse development projects within existing city limits that are close to shopping, jobs, and transit, and include housing choices for people of all income levels.
• Advocate city and regional policies that revitalize downtown areas, increase affordable housing, and expand transit options.
• Publish award-winning research that recommends strategies for accommodating
future growth while keeping the greenbelt intact.
