Event Details
Educational institutions, with their extensive assets and resources, play a crucial role in local economies. These institutions are deeply embedded in their communities through real estate, student and faculty bodies, and community-focused missions. This stability enables them to foster innovative partnerships and significantly enhance economic opportunities for students, their families, and the wider community.
Join SPUR for an engaging discussion on the pivotal role of universities in shaping urban environments, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities in densely populated cities like San Francisco.
Our distinguished panel includes experts from UCSF, UC Law, Gensler, and the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development. They will delve into critical issues such as strategies for universities to address housing shortages and affordability, collaborative approaches between universities and cities, and ways universities can work with local communities to foster workforce development. We will explore how universities drive economic growth within urban settings and how cities can enhance the educational missions of these institutions.
Panelists will share insights on the built environment of universities, their role as anchor institutions, and how new university development can catalyze urban revitalization in downtown cores.
