San Francisco is a city of neighborhood villages. How do we connect them?

Green Streets use nature to build bridges between neighbors and neighborhoods. By weaving greenery into our city's streets, we create the conditions for connection.

Through lush pop-up town squares, playful school streets, and other experimental gathering spaces, Green Streets connect neighbors and invite them to shape and experience the potential of their street. In the process, we gain the agency to reimagine our public spaces as places where we all flourish.

Each project is iterative. We start small, leading with community-led events. What starts as an event can grow into a recurring pilot, always designed with flexibility, reversibility, and human inventiveness in mind. Each activation is built in partnership with local communities, in hopes of nurturing neighborhood stewardship, as stewards are the key to thriving civic spaces.
