Dr. Fernandez’s Infrastructure Systems class partnered with San Juan Bautista and Pacific Grove to analyze cities throughout California which similarly compared to our partner cities. Students collected
data for various categories including general government, transportation, housing, tourism & recreation,
water, weather, sustainability, facilities, finances, and fire/EMF. Students worked to find cities that
similarly compared to five target cities of their choosing and our partner cities in order to aim towards
more successful city planning. This paper summarizes students data collection and analysis, including
additional analysis in regards to our partner cities. This summary works to find the most similar cities to
our partner cities based off of the entire class’ data collection in order to make logical future steps for city
planning. Future steps include completing the data set for all target cities and checking for validity for all
resources and data inputted; this project can be divided into four parts for each partner city in lieu of
additional target cities, one being public works which can include all categories, transportation,
recreation, and approved budget for 2020-2021.
