Megaprojects — like the $6.4 billion Bay Bridge eastern span — are often beautiful, but are often incredibly expensive. Why are such colossal projects so captivating, costly, controversial and complex? Through focusing on the Bay Bridge, what lessons can we learn that can determine how to achieve these megaprojects differently in the future? Hear from an expert on the topic. Co-presented by ULI San Francisco.
