Welcome to the Regional Workbench.

The RWBC is a collaborative network of university and community-based partners dedicated to enabling sustainable city-region development. We promote multidisciplinary research and service learning aimed at understanding how problems of environment and development interrelate across local, regional and global scales. RWBC partners focus on the Southern California-Northern Baja California transborder region--especially the San Diego-Tijuana city-region and coastal zone. Our mission is to enable the integration of research, education and outreach in ways that improve quality of life and habitat in our region.
