Downtown San Jose appears to be on the verge of its biggest building boom in decades. Developers like Urban Catalyst, Jay Paul and Urban Community/Westbank already are working on remaking downtown’s skyline. And that’s not even counting the planned Google megacampus or BART’s extension to Diridon Station.

So with the potential of having thousands more residents and workers in the city’s core in the next decade, the Knight Foundation and the San Jose Downtown Association are teaming up to make sure downtown is ready for them. The Knight Foundation is putting $1 million toward Beautiful Tableau, a five-year initiative by the Downtown Association aimed at using data to guide city planners to make downtown more vibrant, equitable and innovative.
