23 VISION STATEMENT Downtown is the heart of Berkeley where people enjoy urban life. Downtown models Berkeley s commitment to sustainability. Downtown seeks to minimize human impacts on the environment, through its emphasis on walking, bicycling, transit, green streets, and green architecture. Downtown is an economically vibrant destination. Downtown increasingly serves Berkeley s residents and visitors with attractive retail, exceptional restaurants, community services, and remarkable parks and plazas. Downtown celebrates its proximity to a public university internationally renowned for its academic accomplishment and its physical beauty. Downtown s cultural, educational and historic assets form the foundation for its success. Downtown is a great neighborhood that is oriented to the pedestrian. It offers diverse housing opportunities for all kinds of people, with an emphasis on affordability and supportive services. Safe and tree-lined streets, shops, services, and amenities make it possible to meet most daily needs on foot.
