This event will take place in San Jose.
Ever look at San Jose from an urban design perspective? Join Brigitte Williams and Jeff Berg, associate principals at Steinberg Associates, and Benjamin Grant, SPUR’s public realm and urban design program manager, for a walking tour of downtown San Jose to learn about the city’s successful, and not so successful, urban design choices. We’ll discuss how urban design can create a stronger public realm and help bring new vibrancy to San Jose’s downtown.
This event is supported by the City of San Jose.
Limited to 25 people.
