In our current exhibition "Weltstadt - Who Creates the City", the Goethe-Institut presents numerous ideas and projects from local initiatives, activists and interest groups from cities around the world, who are facing urban challenges. Though this exchange of diverse visions, innovative, creative and sustainable ways of developing the future of their cities are created. To add depth and local taste to this unique exhibition, we are hosting a panel discussion with four of San Francisco’s major city players discussing their ideas, insight and approaches on the San Francisco of tomorrow: "Weltstadt San Francisco - planning strategies & prospectives of a growing city".
