In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, urban planner, author, and visionary Sheridan Tatsuno shares his extraordinary journey — from growing up in one of San Francisco’s oldest Japanese-American families to shaping global conversations about sustainable cities.
Sheridan’s story begins with his family’s deep roots in Japantown, the impacts of urban renewal on diverse communities, and his own eye-opening experiences in Venezuela that inspired him to pursue urban and regional planning. From there, he takes us through his groundbreaking work in technology hubs, the influence of his book Technopolis, and his bold vision for the future with The Gaiapolis Strategy — a blueprint for how cities can lead the fight against climate change.
We also explore Sheridan’s imaginative proposal to transform San Francisco’s Geary Boulevard into a world-class cultural and housing corridor — complete with parks, affordable housing, and a “UN of martial arts.” His ideas connect history, community, and innovation in ways that challenge us to rethink the future of our cities.
