Building Alignment: Policy, Practice, and People

​Join us for Building Alignment: Policy, Practice, and People on October 1, 2025, from 4 to 6 PM at the David Brower Center in Berkeley. This gathering is part of Build It Green’s 2025 Small Development Incubator learning and connecting series, which brings together the people shaping the future of housing in the East Bay.

​Small-scale development can help create vibrant, climate-friendly neighborhoods, but its success relies on collaboration. Builders, developers, and city leaders each play a vital role, and Building Alignment: Policy, Practice, and People provides space to deepen understanding and strengthen those relationships.

​The evening will feature a panel discussion with municipal leaders followed by a happy hour and interactive conversations with planners, policymakers, and code professionals where new connections can be grown. These exchanges are designed to spark fresh ideas and build the trust needed for meaningful collaboration.

​Whether you are new to this community or have attended past gatherings, Building Alignment: Policy, Practice, and People is a welcoming place to learn with peers and create relationships that support better housing for all.
