City Walk: POPOS

"POPOS (privately-owned public open spaces) are publicly accessible spaces in forms of plazas, terraces, atriums, small parks, and even snippets that are provided and maintained by private developers," San Francisco Planning Dept. I took a City Guide walking tour today of several POPOS located South of Market between 4th and 2nd Streets. Click this link for other POPOS.

The circular shape on the Marriot represents the lotus. Their POPOS is the walkway between Mission and Market Streets


A spacious, enclosed POPOS at 101 2nd St. The space includes tables and chairs for dining and a cafe.
