In 2010, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR)<\/a> teamed up with Global Footprint Network to explore the Ecological Footprint of San Francisco, a city that prides itself on leading the US in forward-thinking sustainability policies.<\/p>\n

With urban design and infrastructure having a major influence on its residents\u2019 Ecological Footprints, the goal of the project was to expand the thinking and knowledge around urban living and sustainability. The completed Footprint study<\/a>\u00a0found that the average San Franciscan\u2019s overall Ecological Footprint was about 6 percent higher than the average American\u2019s. The study revealed one of the paradoxes of Footprint trends in modern cities: While density and public transportation options significantly reduce per capita Footprint, the increased affluence of city residents correlates with increased consumption. A $1,000 increase in expenditure is expected, on average, to correlate with a 0.09 gha per capita increase in Ecological Footprint. A 100 people per square mile increase in population density is associated with a 0.06 gha per capita decrease in the Ecological Footprint.<\/p>\n

The report showed food and beverage consumption as the biggest contributor to the city\u2019s Footprint. To address this (in part), SPUR launched a program on food systems and urban agriculture<\/a>.<\/p>\n
