Show Notes

In this episode of Fresnolandia, Danielle and Jordan talk with Fresno City Councilmember and urban planner Annalisa Perea about how planning shapes the way she approaches municipal governance in Fresno. They discuss housing and zoning challenges, regional cooperation, the balance between growth and equity, and what smarter, denser development could look like for the city. Perea also shares her thoughts on NIMBYism, downtown revitalization, and how infrastructure—both above and below ground—defines Fresno’s path forward.
