While not an official SA2020 event, the planning sessions focused on the redevelopment of HemisFair Park have taken the same route as the SA2020 events. In an exercise similar to the computer game "Sim City," participants drew and laid out their collective vision of what HemisFair Park should look like in the future. At the meeting, Andres Andujar was named the new CEO of the HemisFair Park Redevelopment Corporation. NOWCastSA had an exclusive interview that evening.
