Eliza Bailey

Assistant Planner

Eliza Bailey joins Good City as an Assistant Planner helping with current and advance planning projects. Eliza earned her master’s degree in geography and has spent over 11 years in high volume guest-facing roles and is eager to combine her years of facilities and operations, and project management experience. Her planning interests include housing, climate change mitigation, environmental justice, and food justice.

Eliza has completed numerous research studies on various geographical topics examining how land-use planning, transportation, water resources, food resources, climate, race and ethnicity, and gender affect housing choices.

Key research projects include:

Personal Narratives: Discovering San Francisco’s Changing Spaces for Queer Women – an oral history of the lived experiences of 20 participants and how the city’s changing urban and economic landscape pushed most of them out of San Francisco.
Qualitative analysis of San Francisco’s Hunters Point Shipyard Development project, its community impact, and how the developers dealt with a lengthy toxic waste cleanup process.
The filling of Islais Creek, San Francisco from 1890 to 1930 – what once was a flowing river through multiple San Francisco neighborhoods now runs through an enclosed system under the street.

Outside of work, Eliza enjoys playing softball, trivia, and traveling.
