San Francisco's Ethnic Diversity is Shrinking, New Study Says

While the American population is said to be increasingly getting more diverse, San Francisco's ethnic diversity is shrinking, a new study says. 

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a recent study says that if trends continue, San Francisco is headed in the opposite direction. In fact, the report from PolicyLink, a research and advocacy organization in conjunction with a University of Southern California program, says the white population in San Francisco is on a steady increase.

This is a cause for concern, according toFred Blackwell, CEO of the San Francisco Foundation, a community advocacy organization, the article above continues.

Another news article quotes Sarah Treuhaft, director of equitable growth initiatives at PolicyLink, a national social equity organization with an office in Oakland,“While the Bay Area economy is booming, rising inequality, stagnant wages and persistent racial inequities place its long-term economic future at risk,” which is revealed by the data of the PolicyLink report, done in collaboration with PERE (the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity at the University of Southern California). - Read more here:

Specifically, one place in San Francisco is exerting efforts to improve its diversity situation which in the long run will boost its economy.  Market Street in San Francisco's historic Tenderloin district is being groomed as "a futuristic Internet enclave," according to a CNBC report. The facelift for the long-neglected Tenderloin began in 2011. With Twitter considering a move south to Silicon Valley, Ed Lee, San Francisco's tech-friendly mayor, established a plan to keep the microblogging site in town and at the same time revive a lengthy stretch of Market Street that featured boarded-up buildings and a storefront vacancy rate of 30 percent. - Read more here:

The ethnic diversity of a place does affect urban planning as well. An excerpt from "Manifesto for an Intercultural Urbanism," reads:

"Here in America there’s still a significant "diversity deficit" in our thinking about urban planning and design. Champions of mainstream urbanisms are increasingly aware of this deficit. Robert Steuteville suggests that New Urbanists "need to work on their appeal to working class and minority groups." He calls for a "populist" urbanism that reaches beyond the creative class of white, educated young professionals."

Union of Concerned Scientists: Working with Science for A Healthier, Safer, Sustainable World

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), started on an interesting note, as a collaboration between students and faculty members of the University of Massachusetts Institute of Technology back in 1969, and has now grown as an alliance of citizens and scientists, all with one goal: working for science-based solutions and actions to build a healthier, safer, and sustainable world.

UCS's impressive leadership is headed by President Kenneth Kimmel, and Exec. Director Kathleen Rest. Together they lead their team of experts, scientists and members, all concerned citizens collaborating to advance science-based solutions to keep our planet healthy and safe for us and the generations to come.

Its history of accomplishments is just as impressive, and here are only some of UCS's achievements between 2010 to the present:

• Plays key role in passing landmark emissions and fuel efficiency standards that will cut in half the global warming emissions of new cars and light trucks by 2025;  
• Helps convince California to require that at least one-third of its electricity comes from clean, renewable sources by 2020, setting an inspiring precedent for the nation;
• Helps win international protections for rainforests that will keep at least 300 million tons of global warming emissions from the atmosphere each year;
• Introduces a plan to cut projected U.S. oil consumption in half within the next 20 years.

The Union of Concerned Scientists is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and aims for workplace diversity, for it understands that diversity is a strength to be valued and developed, thus it partners with DiversityWorking in its search for qualified, committed individuals to join its strong diverse workforce that helps them carry out their noble mission. In return, UCS rewards its dedicated people with competitive salaries, excellent benefits and a rewarding work environment.
