International Parklet Symposium, California
City streets are evolving, and the use of curbside lanes for parklets and other public-serving uses has been at the forefront of the possibilities for their transformation. The International Parklet Symposium, California will be held in San Francisco in April 2025 during San Francisco Restaurant Week, will build on the rich dialogue and global insights shared at the first International Parklet Symposium in Bologna, Italy in September 2024.
The International Parklet Symposium, California will further explore the potential of parklets and other related interventions as true public spaces; and shape the future of parklet policies, design, implementation, and impact. The event will bring together architects and designers, urban planners, policymakers, and community leaders to showcase case studies, host panel discussions and interactive workshops, and foster dialogue around sustainable urbanism and placemaking.
In addition to Proceedings from the program, the Symposium will publish a California Parklet White Paper. The White Paper will outline imperatives and opportunities for public policy and programs in California to advance the transformation of our public realm through re-adaptation of existing infrastructure. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic advocate, this symposium offers a platform to shape California’s streetscape for a more connected and inclusive future.
