Join us and our distinguished and knowledgeable group of speakers for a walking tour about the past, present and future vision for the up and coming Mission Bay neighborhood in San Francisco. Speakers include architects, urban designers and landscape architects whose projects have contributed to the area’s transformation. New mixed-use, in-fill development has led to the creation of a network of connected urban public spaces, each with a distinct character and use. Whether it is a place for entertainment and relaxation or a place to receive the latest in health care, these central gathering spaces seek to equitably service community and regional needs while also incorporating the latest advancements in sustainable and adaptable design.
