Call for Applicants

SPUR, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, is pleased to issue a call for applicants for a three-month fellowship in the summer of 2008.

The Piero N. Patri Fellowship in Urban Design is a hands-on position for a graduate student or recent graduate in urban design, landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning, public policy, economics, or environmental science giving the Fellow a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience working in the urban design and planning field on a project that will have a positive impact on the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Projects are intended to provide career-related work experiences that will challenge graduate-level students, contribute to San Francisco, contribute to SPUR's mission, and reflect the values of Piero N. Patri. SPUR will cooperate with the Fellow in obtaining academic credit, if his or her institution allows.

This year's project is a comprehensive planning study for the area around the mouth of Islais Creek, an industrial waterway that flows into San Francisco Bay.
