Public Realm Action Plan
Reimagining Downtown San Francisco
Public realm improvements and placemaking initiatives are vital tools for economic development, transforming spaces into welcoming areas that foster community gathering, cultural exchange, and social connections—all of which contribute to local commerce.
In partnership with SITELAB urban design studio, Fehr + Peers, and John Bela, DSFP developed the Public Realm Action Plan (PRAP) in 2022, a comprehensive plan outlining physical, programmatic, and organizational strategies to reshape the district’s streets and open spaces.
This vision is now being brought to life through collaborations with the City and County of San Francisco and numerous community partners. Together, we aim to make downtown both inclusive, dynamic, and representative of our community, while reinforcing its role as an economically vibrant and enjoyable destination.
