Developers from New York, Portland, San Diego, Vancouver, and Portland will discuss strategies for building their respective cities in a forum dubbed “Planning on the Edge of the Continent.”

The forum, which is open to the public, will be co-hosted by the San Francisco Planning Department and SPUR, a local think-tank. It’s slated to run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the North Light Court in City Hall.
