A series of panel discussions, film screenings, and printed collections exploring how the groundswell of interest in sidewalk planting, urban farming and community gardening are reshaping the city.

Supplanting the Pavement
This panel discussion moderated by New York Times writer Allison Arieff explores the strategies underlying sidewalk greening. From urban beautification, traffic calming, and rain water diversion to reclaiming roadway for pedestrian usage, these projects seek to enliven the public sphere. Participants include Jane Martin of Plant*SF, Gillian Gillett of Greening Guerrero, John Bela of Rebar, and Andres Power, the Project Manager of SF Pavement to Parks Program.

Edible City Screening
Join us for a screening of Edible City, a film-in-progress documenting the stories of Bay Area residents that are engaged with the local food movement as a response to industrialized agriculture. Directors Andrew Hasse and Adam Goldstein will discuss their forthcoming film and show a selection of clips.

Urban Farming
This second of two panels moderated by New York Times writer Allison Arieff delves into strategies for urban farming. We will examine historical examples including the Victory Garden movement of WWII and contemporary efforts to both revive the Victory Gardens as well as to create new models of urban farming. The evening’s panelists will include Amy Franceschini, instigator of the new San Francisco Victory Gardens Project; Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City; and Paula Jones, Director of Food Systems San Francisco Department of Public Health.

The Planting the City Library
The Planting the City series includes an on-site browsing library of historical and contemporary works curated by the Prelinger Library. It features the urban homesteading collection that anchors the new Studio for Urban Projects library, and is supplemented by a historical collection on loan from the Prelinger Library charting the Garden City and Back-to-the-Land movements, as well as contemporary urban greening projects. The library will be available for use during our evening events and also by appointment.
