Our Principles
Maps, figures, and data on Altadena’s changing population.
The Eaton Fires have provided an opportunity to rethink and rebuild Altadena in a way that prioritizes safety, resilience, and livability. By incorporating sustainable urban planning, wildfire-resistant design, and community-driven development, Altadena can emerge as a thriving, equitable, and resilient community.
