With an eye to the future, a host of compelling writers, thinkers, and artists share their hopes and their gripes about the city. Featuring: Our first-ever symposium, a digital “round table” where ten fascinating participants answer nine questions directly related to our theme; a photo essay of the natural world surrounding the Bay Area metropolis by photographer Devlin Gandy; an interview with celebrated Los Angeles journalist & essayist Lynell George; the work of San Franisco Poet Laureate Tongo Eisen-Martin and much more.
