Greenbelt Alliance
Location: SF Bay Area, CA
Website: www.greenbelt.org
The Bay Area has the best of everything – stunning natural beauty, vibrant cities and neighborhoods, bountiful farms, and a diversity of cultural and economic opportunities. The challenge is how the region handles growth. We have a choice – to create wonderful cities and towns or to spread ever outward, agricultural landscape from development – the hills that offer stunning views, the valleys and streams that provide clean water, the farms and ranches that give us fresh, local food. We help create great cities and neighborhoods – healthy places where people can walk and bike, communities with parks and shops, transportation options, and homes that are affordable. Together these amazing places drive the Bay Area’s economic vitality and quality of life.
At Greenbelt Alliance we believe in collaboration. We bring together residents and decision-makers, business leaders, labor unions and others to find innovative solutions to our region’s growth challenges. We work both regionally and locally, blending expertise with on-the-ground action to help people explore our great region, make their neighborhoods thrive and save treasured landscapes from sprawl.
The places that make the Bay Area special are incredibly diverse, which is why Greenbelt Alliance’s work takes many forms, from saving farms in Santa Clara County and wildlife habitat in Sonoma County to revitaliziing commercial strips in Silicon Valley and Oakland. For more than 50 years, we have succeeded in helping to shape the amazing places of the Bay Area.
At Greenbelt Alliance, we bring people together around the places that matter to them. We envision a future where the Bay Area’s natural and agricultural landscapes that provide so much are protected and nurtured. We envision a future where everyone – regardless of their socioeconomic status – can live in a neighborhood they are proud to call home.
Greenbelt Alliance is the champion of the places that make the Bay Area special.

Greenbelt Alliance’s mission is to make the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area a better place to live by protecting the region’s greenbelt and improving the livability of its cities and towns. We work through public policy development, advocacy and education, in partnership with diverse coalitions.
Grow Smart Bay Area is Greenbelt Alliance’s vision for the region to become more climate-friendly, affordable, and economically competitive, while protecting our farms, forests, and watersheds. By 2035, we call for:
- Fully protecting the Bay Area’s three million-acre greenbelt,
- Directing all new development into already urbanized areas, and
- Accomplishing both in a way that equitably benefits all Bay Area residents.

BayShare
Location: S.F. Bay Area
Website: www.bayshare.org
BayShare is an advocacy organization whose mission is to make the Bay Area the best place on the planet for sharing. As this movement grows, BayShare will explore how city stakeholders and the sharing community can work together to help the Sharing Economy flourish in the Bay Area to benefit the city, businesses, and communities.
The organization looks to be a resource for the Mayor’s Working Group on the Sharing Economy and it will also serve as a resource for the public by hosting events and providing educational materials so that more residents and businesses engage with this new economy.
The Sharing Economy is a popular way for individuals, governments and businesses to access goods and services in new and less expensive ways.
Today people are bartering, lending, trading, gifting and swapping their homes, cars, power drills, skills and even extra time. Spurred by need and a shift in cultural values, and empowered by peer technologies and business models, the sharing economy is democratizing access to resources of all kinds - tangible assets, services, knowledge, capital, production technology, and decision making power.
In its many innovations - some old, some new - include car sharing, cooperatives, crowdfunding, ride sharing, coworking, open source software, participatory budgeting, and peer accommodation to name a few, the Sharing Economy provides an opportunity to explore how we can lead more connected, sustainable lives while benefitting the cities we inhabit. The Bay Area has lead the country in adopting the Sharing Economy and in recognizing its social, environmental, and economic benefits. Many new sharing businesses have headquartered in the Bay Area, making the city an incubator for new business models that create jobs, empower citizens, and creates a more robust community.
Considered to be the next billion dollar industry, the Sharing Economy can help Bay Area residents maintain a high quality of life while living in the hub of the most expensive city in the country. Individuals and businesses across the socio-economic spectrum are able to access new economic opportunities by monetizing their underutilized assets.
Conversely, those who need access to those assets can get them from their neighbors more affordably. A new service industry providing flexible jobs has also cropped up as a result. The impact of these services and new revenue streams on household budgets can be significant.
Innovative use of existing resources cultivates a more sustainable economy based on efficient use of resources. This kind of resource efficiency can significantly reduce waste and help San Franciscans maintain lighter environmental footprints. Sharing builds community and fills market gaps. The Sharing Economy gives citizens a sense of place and purpose in their neighborhoods, and connects them to where they live. This creates a more connected and resilient San Francisco that will be beneficial both now and in times of crisis.

BayShare members have already contributed to initiatives to improve the Bay Area such as participatory budgeting, democratizing access to production capacity and providing car sharing services and fleets to decrease the number of cars on the road, contributing environmental, economic, and quality of life benefits to the city of San Francisco.
The Sharing Economy and the Bay Area local government have common goals: to increase resource efficiency, to create jobs and income, to build community, and to achieve zero-waste. There is a great opportunity to combine our efforts to create a stronger, more resilient Bay Area.

For The Bay
Location: S.F. Bay area, CA
Website: www.forthebay.org
The Bay. It's who we are. It's where we live. Where we work. Where we play. It's the very heart of our community — and after a century of decline, the Bay's survival depends on doing something, soon.
We're doing something now. We're launching an initiative to bring back a healthy and vibrant San Francisco Bay for today, tomorrow, and generations to come -- for people and wildlife, for jobs and play, and for our very way of life. We have just one question: Are you with us? If so (and why wouldn't you be?)...
For more than 50 years, Save The Bay has been the Bay’s leading champion. With the help of our supporters, we’ve kept our precious Bay from becoming a narrow, polluted channel, we’ve restored hundreds of acres of wetlands for people and wildlife, and we’ve worked with cities to curtail the flow of plastic bags and other trash into the Bay.
As a region, the Bay Area faces many challenges— from sea level rise to exploding population growth. But if we work together we have a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the health of the Bay and the health of our community. That’s why Save The Bay is launching a new initiative – For The Bay.
The Bay is the heart of our region’s vibrant economy and quality of life. It’s the reason some 8 million people have chosen to build their lives here. While we know Bay Area residents have a broad and deep appreciation for the Bay and an understanding of the need to protect and restore it for future generations, it’s easy to take this majestic body of water for granted as we go about our daily lives.
That’s why we’re launching For The Bay: to serve as a place where Bay Area residents from all walks of life and all backgrounds can come together to celebrate the Bay and advocate for its protection.
Being for the Bay isn’t just about protecting fish and wildlife. It’s about embracing the different ways in which we all interact with the Bay – whether that’s on a sailboat or a fishing trawler, taking BART under the tube, walking or biking along the hundreds of miles of shoreline trail, or even just marveling at the spectacular views the Bay provides us every day.

The Bay Lights
Location: San Francisco Bay, CA
Website: www.thebaylights.org
The Bay Lights is a site-specific monumental light sculpture and art installation on the San Francisco Bay Bridge.
The installation by lights placed along 1.8 miles (2.9 km) of the cables on the north side of the suspension span of the bridge between Yerba Buena Island and San Francisco. The installation will be controlled via a computer and will display changing patterns that are not meant to repeat.
A The Bay Lights is the world’s largest LED light sculpture, 1.8 miles wide and 500 feet high. Inspired by the Bay Bridge’s 75th Anniversary, its 25,000 white LED lights are individually programmed by artist Leo Villareal to create a never-repeating, dazzling display across the Bay Bridge West Span through 2015.
The Bay Lights is a monumental tour de force eight times the scale of the Eiffel Tower’s 100th Anniversary lighting. Shining from dusk until 2:00 a.m. for two years, it will impact over 50 million people in the Bay Area, with billions more seeing it in the media and online. By conservative estimates, $97 million dollars will be added to the local economy.
Timetable:
September 15–October 15, 2012
Fiber and power line backbone installed. 25,000 LEDs with integrators and 48,000 Bridge Clips in production.
October 15, 2012
LED light system night installation begins, with 8-10 electricians working Mondays to Fridays, 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Mid-December, 2012
First test of lights installed to date.

San Franciscans for Planning and Urban Research
Location: San Francisco, CA
Website: www.spur.org
Through research, education and advocacy, SPUR promotes good planning and good government in the San Francisco Bay Area.
SPUR's history dates back to 1910, when a group of young city leaders came together to improve the quality of housing after the 1906 earthquake and fire. That group, the San Francisco Housing Association, authored a hard-hitting report which led to the State Tenement House Act of 1911.
In the 1930s, SFHA continued to advocate for housing concerns. In the 1940s, SFHA merged with Telesis, a group of graduates from UC Berkeley's city planning program, to become the San Francisco Planning and Housing Association in 1942. In the same year, the Association landed another major success with the creation of San Francisco's Department of City Planning.
In the 1950s, SFPHA pushed for the revitalization of San Francisco as the Bay Area's central city, in an effort to curb suburban sprawl and channel growth back into the urban core. In 1959, the San Francisco Planning and Housing Association was reorganized into the San Francisco Planning and Urban Renewal Association—and later, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association—to be the citizens' voice for good planning.
Over the next five decades, SPUR built support for land use, transportation and investment strategies to support center-oriented growth and urban economic vitality. Since then, SPUR has been involved with virtually every major planning decision in the city.
In May 2009, the opening of the 14,500 square-foot SPUR Urban Center opened a major new chapter in the life of the organization and in civic planning in San Francisco. Located in the heart of the Yerba Buena cultural district, the Urban Center provides a common ground for citizens to come together in fruitful, forward-thinking conversation.
In a city dominated by single-interest politics, SPUR plays the crucial role of uniting citizens to jointly craft solutions to our common problems.
SPUR is a member-supported, nonprofit organization.
