Masterplan for Japantown- San Francisco California

A concept-driven revitalization vision rooted in Japantown’s cultural identity

Robin Chiang & Company prepared a conceptual master plan for San Francisco’s Japantown (2008), exploring urban design strategies that reinforce cultural heritage, improve pedestrian connectivity across Geary Boulevard, and organize a balanced mix of uses around public spaces. The study aligned with City guidance for Japantown’s character and community priorities, illustrating how sensitive infill and streetscape ideas could support long-term neighborhood vitality.
