Imagining Future Cities

Evening Forum

We’re improving the SPUR event registration process.
SPUR has launched a new ticketing system and we're asking you to register for each event that you're planning to attend. This will help us keep you informed of any changes that may occur and enable us to better tailor our programming to your interests.


National Geographic recently published its vivid "Future Cities" issue, which presented a range of ideas and challenges for the world’s cities, most of which are expected to grow explosively in the coming decades. Hear from some of the issue's major contributors in discussion with local thinkers about how these forward-thinking ideas can apply to a changing 21st century Bay Area and investigate the ways that grand aspiration can influence reality. Generously sponsored by Bank of the West.
