WE San Francisco

We're doing a deep dive into how to get San Francisco's downtown — the economic engine of our city — back on track.  This will include a review of the latest city data, insights from other cities who have made progress on downtown revitalization, and fresh solutions for a new downtown outlook.

Modernist Members Brandon Au & Seema Sri, along with WE founder Ben Kaplan, a Harvard-trained economist and former case writer at the National Bureau of Economic Research, will discuss how to achieve what is needed without huge budgetary outlays.

If there's one presentation that might change how you look at the future of San Francisco's downtown, this just might be it.

NOTE:  For Modernist members, you can RSVP either on this event page or the Modernist event page.  It's the same event! :-)
