San Francisco

What If the Bay Area Were One City?

Lunchtime Forum

Photo by

It’s rare for cities to amalgamate into a unified region — New York City and Toronto are two key North American examples — but there are arguable benefits to doing so. How would the Bay Area be different if it followed this path and elected a single mayor and city council for a new city of 8 million people? What would the impacts be on housing, transportation and planning? Explore the pros and cons of how such a city would work.
