California @ 50 Million

Almost 40 million people live in California today. By, 2035, it is projected that the state will be home to 50 million residents. Looking ahead, the state needs to plan for sufficient housing, infrastructure, and services to accommodate this growth. At the same time, the state also needs to maintain environmental protections, protect and improve public health, and maintain the state’s open space, agricultural lands, and parks.
OPR is looking ahead to understand and plan for growth while meeting the state’s environmental goals. These efforts include preparation of an Environmental Goals and Policy Report, analysis and review of regional plans to integrate transportation and land use planning being prepared under Senate Bill 375, and understanding the implications of a high-speed rail system in California.
