San Francisco Mayor London Breed unveiled her roadmap for downtown’s future, which lays out strategies and initiatives in response to current economic challenges and sets a new vision for the role of Downtown in San Francisco’s economy. The Mayor’s Downtown Plan aims to reinvigorate the city and reposition San Francisco as the Bay Area’s economic hub and a global anchor for commerce. When a city is designated a World Heritage site, it rises above the category of a local or national landmark—it means it’s something important to all of humanity. The idea of San Francisco as a World Heritage site has just moved one step closer to realization. Key stakeholders—including Rich Hillis, San Francisco planning director, and Diane Matsuda, president of the Historic Preservation Commission—have agreed to launch a task force to pursue the nomination. Karalyn Monteil, the former director of the nonprofit San Francisco Heritage said we should also highlight the LGBTQ+ history and culture of San Francisco. By doing so, it would be the only World Heritage site in the world with an LGBTQ+ theme. The World Heritage Committee has already been carrying out an analysis of where there are gaps on its list, which could end up giving San Francisco a natural advantage.
