14 4 Fragmented stewardship and governance Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
15 Key Findings Disconnected public realm is mirrored in jurisdictional boundaries Many jurisdictional boundaries overlap in Civic Center s iconic public spaces Split by two police districts, two business improvement districts, and other management and programming entities, the only entity that encompasses all of The Commons is the Downtown Streets Team ors bassad m A A I OCE Judicial Council D nter CB e C ic v i C D loin CB Tender General Services Admin Asian Art Museum orks ublic W P f o t p De arks n and P io t a e r c Re City Hall SHN SF Library orthern SFPD N nderloin SFPD Te Bill Graham Map of stewardship boundaries Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL 2017 wn Downto Streets Team *All public streets under maintenance supervision of Public Works 43 unless noted otherwise
16 5 Look but don t touch: the space is unfriendly to the human scale Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
17 12 Urban Quality Criteria in Civic Center Missing the basics The 12 Urban Quality Criteria are a way to discuss a hierarchy of needs in a space Without basic protection from cars, noise, rain, and wind, people will avoid spending time in a space Without elements that make walking, standing, sitting, seeing, and conversing comfortable, a place won t invite people to spend time there Finally, a great place distinguishes itself by including elements that invite people to be active and make use of the positive aspects of microclimate and human scale This assessment is a snapshot in time based on existing conditions While improvements are on the way, some fundamental challenges exist Protection Comfort Enjoyment Protection against traffic & crashes feeling safe Opportunities to walk/cycle Opportunities to see Protection against crime & violence feeling secure Opportunities to stop & stay Opportunities to talk & listen Protection against unpleasant sensory experiences Opportunities to sit movable tables + chairs not present during study Opportunities for play & exercise Playgrounds not open during study Scale Dimensioned at human scale Opportunities to enjoy the positive aspects of climate Aesthetic qualities + positive sensory experience Poor Fair Good Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
18 Civic Center We analyzed the Civic Center district as a whole according to the 12 Urban Quality Criteria Qualities of seeing and looking are strong in Civic Center, as is aesthetic beauty But it is falling short on fundamental qualities that make a space inviting for people Protection Comfort Enjoyment Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
19 Protection Without basic protection from cars, noise, rain, and wind, people will avoid spending time in a space Protection from these things is mandatory for a place to be used Great view, but not safe to stand in the street Some places are very protected Protection against traffic & crashes feeling safe Protection against crime & violence feeling secure Protection against unpleasant sensory experiences Fair Poor Poor I ve heard of a bulb-out but never a bulb-in Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
20 Comfort Without elements that make walking, standing, sitting, seeing, and conversing comfortable, a place does not invite people to spend time there Opportunities to walk/cycle Opportunities to stop & stay Opportunities to sit Good Poor Poor Opportunities to see Opportunities to talk & listen Opportunities for play & exercise Good Poor Fair Playgrounds were under construction during this study Assessment based on interim design Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
21 Enjoyment A great place distinguishes itself from a good place by including elements that invite people to be active and make use of the positive aspects of microclimate and human scale Brr I m happy to be in the sun! I just got marriedbut where do I go now? Dimensioned at human scale Opportunities to enjoy the positive aspects of climate Aesthetic qualities + positive sensory experience Poor Poor Good The Asian Art Museum is beautiful, but people are walled off from Fulton Street Beautiful architecture and art is one of the reasons people come to Civic Center Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
22 Little to delight the 5 senses Successful public spaces appeal to all the senses - not only the delight of beautiful architecture, but also touch, smell, and taste At the time of this survey, there were few positive invitations to delight the senses in Civic Center s 730,000 square feet of public open space The Civic Center Commons Initiative is making things better Movable tables and chairs, a permanent kiosk, and two new world-class playgrounds are a step in the right direction, but there is still much to do Drinking Fountains 3Restrooms Public Wayfinding Play Areas 3 Art Chairs/benches movable tables + chairs not present during study Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
23 Scale comparisons Public Space 25 ft (76m) Social Space 12 ft (36m) Humans feel more safe when we can recognize other people and their emotions The following scale comparisons demonstrate public space designs that function both as a civic gathering place as well as a place that honors the human scale Personal Space 4 ft (12m) Intimate Space 15 ft (45 m) Social Distance Recognizing emotions, potential for interaction Personal Distance Intimate Distance Public Distance Recognizing individuals and activities Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL

27 Bryant Park Big trees provide comfortable enclosure This space struggled with issues like drug use that currently challenge Civic Center Through design, programming, and a robust financing model, Bryant Park is now a beloved place The edges are prime real estate It succeeds in hosting a wide variety of activities, from movie nights to a cafe to a lending library to games, by subdividing the exterior of the park into humanscale rooms, framing a central lawn Branded furnishings Furnishings make this lawn inviting Monuments and trees make great company This is a great place for a lunch break Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
28 6 The limited ability of the Beaux-Arts plan to support public life has been eroded over time Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
29 Key Findings The Beaux-Arts plan is focused around grand architecture, large public spaces, and clustering institutional uses This squeezes out the life of the city by limiting active building edges, everyday retail and commerce, and informal cultural uses 1942* 1960 plan* 1938 aerial* *source: Civic Center Historic District Cultural Landscape Inventory, 2014 Today Over time, even human-scale elements of this design such as planting, seating, water features and monuments have been removed, creating a public realm that only invites people to pass through, except during large, infrequent events Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL 2017 Open space + building footprints in Civic 57 Center highlights large public spaces
30 Public Space Key Findings Civic Center is a powerful symbol of San Francisco There s no center in Civic Center The civic axis is broken Fragmented stewardship and governance Look but don t touch: the space is unfriendly to the human scale The limited ability of the Beaux- Arts plan to support public life has been eroded over time Gehl Making Cities for People Civic Center PSPL
