Call for Presentations and Site Tours!

The International Parklet Symposium, California invites proposals for presentations and site tours that showcase innovative approaches, best practices, and critical reflections on parklet design, policy initiatives, implementation, and community impact. International submittals are accepted, and special consideration will be given to presentation proposals that focus on California-specific contexts for parklets, considering urban density, climate, and diverse community needs. We welcome contributions from design practitioners, urban planners, government agencies, policymakers, researchers, and community organizations. We encourage cross-disciplinary perspectives that bridge urban design, environmental studies, public health, and social equity.

Submissions may focus on case studies, theoretical explorations, policy frameworks, or creative interventions and future proposals. Additionally, proposals for site tours that highlight exemplary parklets or related public space projects across San Francisco are highly encouraged. Selected presenters will have the opportunity to share their work with a diverse audience and shape the discourse on the future of parklets in California and beyond.
