ABOUT
Design for San Diego (D4SD) is a civic design challenge initiated by the UC San Diego Design Lab, a space to address our region’s most pressing challenges. This year’s challenge focuses on the housing crisis, a critical issue that has long affected all San Diego residents’ well-being and quality of life. D4SD invites your ideas to make San Diego a more equitable home for all of our neighbors. Visit the Discover page to learn more about the four topics within the housing crisis: health, upward mobility, awareness, and placemaking.
