Th The e Ur Urban an Cen entur tury

  • Majority of world population is urban, but “urban”

(includes many small places)

  • Metropolitan regions are key drivers of economic growth-

concentrate human and physical capital, resources, entrepreneurship

  • Megaregions are leaders in innovation, opportunity
  • “Going glocal” – integrating global and local knowledge
  • Cities and regions as innovation testbeds

Me Mega gapr projects: jects: A Ma A Major jor Challeng hallenge

Projects that are exceptionally costly, controversial, context-specific, challenging to design, complex to construct

  • Often strain institutional capacities
  • Takes skill to keep them from

becoming catastrophic, career-ending

  • Examples: Channel Tunnel, Eastern Span - Bay Bridge,

London congestion pricing, many urban rail projects

  • Cases of big projects led by cities
  • Urban setting poses challenges but also

major opportunities for creating more livable, vibrant places

  • Many elements means many stakeholders

– need to be creative in managing the process

Tra ranspor nsportation tation Me Mega gapr projects

  • jects
  • Cities want them. But don’t want the negative impacts.
  • They have profound place-defining effects on the communities in

which they are built. But their design often fails to account for this.

  • Many fail to put the user first and are not developed to maximize

integration.

Option:

UNDERGROUND RAIL OR NEIGHBORHOOD ISOLATION

20,000 new households in southern bayfront

are planned, from Mission Creek to Executive Park

35,000 new jobs + 520 acres of open space

are also planned in the Southern Bayfront

6 east-west roads could be reconnected

across Caltrain tracks FIDI, Mission Bay, SOMA, So. Bayfront

  • To coordinate state, regional and local

infrastructure for generations of growth

  • To connect neighborhoods while supporting

Caltrain and High-Speed Rail operations

  • Current plans require 16th St to be closed

20+ minutes every hour (during peak)

Why do we need this study?

  • Removing I-280 does not create

new opportunities for rail

  • No physical relationship to other

components

  • Removing I-280 requires much

longer conversation with Caltrans

  • Cities
  • Regional government

  • Creation of project-specific entities that are set up to foster

multimodal integration and maximize both transportation and city-building benefits

Qu Ques estions tions

  • How can cities focus both on the needs of global investors and

local residents (i.e. have a ‘glocal’ focus)?

  • How can projects serve the needs of broad geographies (i.e. region
  • r state) while also furthering the place-making goals of cities?
  • What would an ideal governance entity for urban megaprojects

look like?

  • How would it attract the necessary talent and have the wide array of in-

house skills that are necessary for building integrated “urban” projects?

  • What changes would need to be made to the model that has been

employed until now for these types of projects in California, the JPA?
