Unmasking Regionalism

Author Duncan Agnew By Duncan Agnew
Date June 17, 2026
Regional leaders say the Bay Area has built ambitious climate resilience plans. Now comes the harder task: funding and implementing them.

KneeDeep organizes its stories in three departments: In Fight or Flight, read about decision-making in the face of advancing water, fire, or stormy weather, and building for safety, efficiency and equity. City & County zeroes in on where change begins: with local government and within each community. Hearts and Minds recognizes that without human connection, all the engineering or money in the world can’t save us.
