SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Childcare in SF
"Childcare is vital to creating a family-friendly city. Families in San Francisco face unique challenges finding affordable, safe and quality care. The dilemma is even more intense for low-income families and those with children with special needs, adding yet one more factor to San Francisco’s “family flight” problems. Michael Williams, Deputy Director of Programs, and other professionals from Children’s Council of San Francisco, will describe some of the realities facing families, as well as some solutions and potential policy directions."

SPUR Walking Tour: Tour of SF windmills
"Don't miss this treat to explore the Golden Gate Park windmills! The windmills were built in 1902 and 1905 to pump water for the irrigation of the Park. But electric pumps were eventually installed for efficiency, the windmills stopped their twirling and the salty sea wind got the better of these beauties. A recent campaign to save the windmills raised money for their resurrection. Our tour guide, Mark de Jong of Bloemendal Construction is the San Franciscan-Dutchman charged with this prodigious restoration project."

SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Planning Portland
"Prior to leaving his post as Portland, Oregon’s first Chief Urban Designer in late March this year, Arun Jain completed a working blueprint for Portland’s Central City from which great public places and spaces can be created over the next 25 years. It is also a basis for creating a resilient city intended to protect, enhance and create its cherished environment and character. The plan provides a dynamic means for cities to foster uniqueness and counter uncertainty."
