SPUR is a non-profit organization with roots dating back to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, when leaders aimed to improve housing quality. Today, it focuses on sustainability, resilience, transportation, economic justice, and good governance. SPUR events provide a platform for the Bay Area community to engage with bright minds and exchange ideas on various topics. These include feasibility studies on commercial real estate conversion, addressing the noise from BART work commutes, and discussing incentives for revitalizing downtown San Francisco. SPUR fosters valuable discussions that contribute to regional planning and public policy, making it a vital part of the community.
