Awards
Each year we honor a group of projects that represent the best developments in San Francisco urbanism.
Visit our 2011 dinner page to view photos, videos, and our sincere thanks to our sponsors!
Our 2011 honorees illustrate the creative ways San Francisco is repurposing, restoring, and reactivating our public spaces:
- EcoCenter at Heron's Head Park: Once a former Bay landfill at Hunter's point, the organization Literacy for Environmental Justice built an off-the-grid, sustainable classroom to teach environmental justice and urban sustainability to youth.
- Pavement to Parks/Parklets Programs: With a focus on activating our streets and sidewalks, the San Francisco Planning Department, the Department of Public Works and the Municipal Transportation Agency are reclaiming underutilized spaces in the public realm by creating vibrant, beautiful gathering spaces.
- Off-the-Grid: Working with the Recreation and Parks Department, Off-the-Grid is a new phenomenon bringing high-quality food to people in parks and open spaces across the city enhancing the experience for park users, and creating new revenue for the city.
- Sunnyside Conservatory: A 100-year old treasure once slated for demolition in the Sunnyside neighborhood, the Sunnyside Conservatory was saved by a dedicated group of community members to preserve and repurpose this cherished neighborhood landmark.
