San Francisco Better Neighborhoods 2002
San Francisco Planning Department
San Francisco, California January 2001 to February 2002
Strategic Economics was part of a team working with the City of San Francisco to prepare neighborhood plans for
three different areas of the city: the area surrounding the intersection of Market Street and Octavia Boulevard, the
area around Balboa Park BART station, and the Central Waterfront district. In each neighborhood Strategic
Economics worked with a different urban design/planning firm. All three of these areas are or will be home to
significant transit infrastructure. The goal of the project was to develop plans that take advantage of and support
that transit infrastructure while enhancing and revitalizing these key neighborhoods. The project involves analyzing
the development potential of individual sites from a variety of perspectives, including the opportunities and
constraints of the regional economy and real estate market conditions.
