The disaster of 1906 lent new urgency to existing debates about the future of San Francisco. How would the city grow and compete with rivals? What should be the role of the voting public, political parties, government officials, planners, business and labor? Out of these debates and associated social conflicts would rise a new city and a unique San Francisco version of American progressivism and urban form. Join panelists William Issel, professor of history emeritus at San Francisco State University; Richard Walker, chair of the California Studies Center at UC Berkeley; and exhibition curator Benjamin Grant.
