San Francisco – Future of their Public Spaces

Predictions for San Francisco’s Public Spaces | Planetizen News

During the COVID pandemic more green areas were created such as parklets and it appears they will become permanent fixtures.

It appears these innovations have fueled more creativity in figuring out how to create more green spaces for the city which will likely inspire future pilot projects. There is also a focus on improving San Franciscos public parks – so rehabilitating current space.

This will cause some tension between all of the drivers in the city vs the increased pedestrian traffic.

Privately owned public spaces (POPOS) – this is a policy innovation that requires developers in the central district to create publicly accessible spaces in or around their buildings.

I was interested to learn that a dense highly populated city such as San Francisco has protected and provided green space.
