Type: Competitions / Awards
Description:
Calling for ideas to reimagine the future of a great American street. Market Street Reimagined competition is now open.
Do you have a bold idea for Market Street? Submit your idea now through June 1st, 2025.
What: An international call for ideas that identify new urban possibilities for downtown San Francisco’s Market Street, responding to the disruptions caused by the pandemic, remote work, and other cultural changes. This is a time to think differently, to escape the traps embedded in techniques and assumptions of the past, and venture into the speculative possibilities of an urbanism not yet discovered. Using San Francisco’s Market Street as a subject, we ask competitors “How might a new set of ideas be developed to address the challenges in post-pandemic city cores enabling them to flourish in ways that are economically viable and experientially uplifting?”
Competition Co-Sponsors: The Urban Land Institute San Francisco (ULI SF) and the Civic Joy Fund are co-sponsors of this ideas competition. They are committed to a thriving and revitalized San Francisco and a Market Street that is brimming with people and activity.
Who Should Enter: Open to all who have vision toward the future. Residents, business owners, urbanists, optimists, visionaries, community builders, students, professionals, and anyone who can think in creative and unexpected ways.
