Our campaigns and programs are made possible through grassroots support
Livable City works to empower and inspire San Franciscans to co-create an equitable, healthy, and joyful future.
A San Francisco where environmentally-friendly forms of transportation like walking and biking are accessible, people have affordable housing and meaningful work in neighborhoods that are economically and culturally vital, and public spaces are healthy, green, and biodiverse.
Livable City works to create a San Francisco of great streets and complete neighborhoods, where walking, bicycling, and transit are the best choices for most trips, where public spaces are beautiful, well-designed, and well-maintained, and where housing is more plentiful and more affordable.
Livable City engages San Francisco in three ways – as the City’s livability advocate, as the City’s Open Streets provider, and as a people’s planner.
Founded in April 2000 as Transportation for a Livable City, the organization originally focused on advocating for San Francisco policies encouraging people to drive less and prioritize walking, biking, and mass transit. We're proud of the new directions our efforts have taken us, and excited for the work ahead!
Thank you for your feedback and input on the future of Twin Peaks, including what you would like to see conserved and improved in the years to come. Our team is hard at work finalizing recommendations to submit to the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development and will release the final report soon.
The annual Fillmore Holiday Night Market is just around the corner - toys, games, live performances, food and drinks, plus holiday cheer. Support the event as a sponsor today!





Help us reach more neighbors and friends on Instagram - our next goal post is 7500 followers! The most effective form of outreach is word-of-mouth, so consider sharing a post on your feed to let people know what you're looking forward to this year with the 2025 season of Sunday Streets!
Sunday Streets transforms miles of city streets into car-free community spaces for kids to play, seniors to stroll, businesses and organizations to connect, and neighbors to meet. We need volunteers for a variety of roles on event-day, including crossing guards, block captains, hub support, survey-takers, and more.
In 2025, Livable City will be expanding our policy and advocacy work in key areas that affect livability in San Francisco, including housing affordability and development, to more everyday people in the city. We need your help to grow this critical work.
