Join SPUR for a special learning session on French housing models with SPUR alum Magda Maaoui. The session will explore lessons for California's needs which can be gleaned from the French housing system. We will cover classic and innovative tools, from fair-share mandates to adaptive reuse and infill densification, from old ways of regulating and financing affordable housing to public-private partnerships. In the post-election uncertain context planners, policymakers and housing advocates have to navigate, we will share actionable insights on how the local makes a difference, even in a strong welfare state like France.

SPUR and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) invite you to an engaging conversation about bold efforts to protect our city’s future. Join us and bring your curiosity to learn how San Francisco is rising to meet the challenges of coastal flooding and climate change.
