Downtown 2050: How social and economic trends are re-shaping the future of downtowns

The City of San Mateo is excited to introduce the first in the series of San Mateo  Downtown Future Forums on Wednesday, April 1 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at the San Mateo Main Library. The forums are a key component of the San Mateo Downtown Engagement process, leading to an update of the City’s Downtown Area Plan later this year. This kick-off event will focus on the direction of regional social and economic development and how downtowns are responding to them.  Reserve your space using Eventbrite.

The discussion will include an overview of emerging socio-demographic trends impacting downtowns, followed by a panel discussion with local representatives from cities around the Bay Area who are leading Downtown initiatives. The format of the forum will be designed to encourage community feedback, interaction, and discussion. We hope you can attend!

The Future Forums is one of several ways to participate in the Downtown Engagement strategy. Share your thoughts and be part of the process by visiting the Downtown Engagement website for more information, join the conversation at San Mateo Town Hall and visit us at Central Park on Saturday, March 21st to participate in a fun Pop-up Workshop.  We want to hear from you!
