Housing, Infrastructure and Placemaking in a Post-Covid World: Silicon Valley has been a key hub of innovation and change for decades. Covid and remote work will bring changes to Silicon Valley, but investment in strong cities and infrastructure will play a key role in how we work, live and play and help us come back stronger, happier, and healthier after the pandemic.

Joining alongside her in her first major talk with Silicon Valley since being named to the Federal Transit Administration, will be Nuria Fernandez.
