Learn more about the newly renovated Castro Plaza, the city’s first “parklet” on Divisadero, and other innovative projects. The tour is organized by the San Francisco Great Streets Project, an initiative of SPUR"

"Planning for climate change and sustainable communities won’t succeed if it perpetuates inequity and poverty at the regional scale. But many regions throughout the country are innovating new models for equity.

"Produced by PBS and directed by Aaron Wolf, Blueprint America: Beyond the Motor City explores America’s historic decisions to invest in highways at the expense of mass transit, biking and walking infrastructure, and urban vitality. While focusing on the hard lessons learned in Detroit, the film also offers the hope that America’s largest cities are now uniquely poised to shape a new generation of transportation consumers and revitalize the way we move through the built landscape. A short discussion will follow the 85-minute screening"

"The 303-acre Mission Bay site is the city’s most significant redevelopment project in years. It’s also one model of how to build a business district beyond a traditional downtown.

With Kelley Kahn and Catherine Reilly of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency."
