ABOUT SPUR
The San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR) is San Francisco's preeminent public-policy think tank. Through research, analysis, public education, and advocacy, SPUR promotes good planning and good government.
SPUR was formed in 1959 to fight for the revitalization of San Francisco as the Bay Area's central city. It was given the charge of channeling growth away from suburban sprawl and back into the urban core. Throughout the 1960s, SPUR worked to build support for the land use, transportation, and investment strategies that could support center-oriented growth and urban economic vitality.
Since then, SPUR has been involved with virtually every major planning decision in the city. We bring together neighborhood leaders, government officials, business leaders, planners, architects, students, and activists the full range of people who care about San Francisco debate, learn, and plan for the needs of the city as a whole.
In a city dominated by single-interest politics, SPUR plays the crucial role of uniting citizens from all parts of the city to jointly craft solutions to our common problems.
SPUR is a non-profit membership organization. Please join us!
