Via Curbed
Amid much pomp last afternoon, the new SPUR Urban Center opened on Mission Street. There was even dancing in the streets! Other than the party though, the building shows the dedication to studying what direction our city needs to take. They even lead by example, with a hopefully LEED Silver certification coming soon.

The 4 floor center has two large meeting spaces, offices, and a ground floor exhibition. I spent quite a while looking over the installation- Agents of Change: Civic Idealism and the Making of San Francisco. In case you have any sort of curiosity about our city, such as why our grid goes over hills, or why we don’t have freeways, this is place to go. You can watch interviews with the people who made it all happen, view an extensive timeline, and use a computer to view the local densities over the past 150 years from any angle. Be sure to block off enough time to see the whole thing!
