Forums

At more than 150 noontime and evening forums every year - free to members - SPUR brings you face-to-face with civic leaders, researchers, and public officials. You get to ask the questions you want answered and receive a response - firsthand and unfiltered.

Tours

Each month, SPUR takes you behind-the-scenes into the newest buildings, infrastructure projects, and neighborhoods.

Voter Guide

Now you can ignore the paid propaganda cluttering your mailbox. Before every election, you'll receive SPUR's acclaimed, independent San Francisco Ballot Guide. This SPUR exclusive analyzes every proposition, its pros and cons, and tells you how each would really affect the city.

The Urbanist

Urbanist, SPUR's monthly publication, brings you the latest directions in urban planning, social trends, citizen planning initiatives, and best practices from around the world.

SPUR's Young Urbanists program is generously supported by a grant from the Koret Foundation.
