San Francisco's urban landscape has evolved significantly over the last decade. City Visions host Joseph Pace and our panel review some of the decade's most notable - and controversial - development projects.
Do the new buildings present an architectural vision? Is our transformed skyscape a sign of changes to the character of our city? And how do these projects play into San Francisco's ongoing struggle to address important social issues like homelessness, affordable housing and global warming?
