City Design
City Design (c. 1976 - 1997) was a Pleasanton, California-based firm that produced promotional pictorial views of American cities, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. It originated as an offshoot of the Canadian firm Archar Inc., which was a prolific creator of city views in the 1970s and early 1980s. City Design appears to have become independent of Archar and was most active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with its last cataloged map being a view and calendar of Silicon Valley in 1997 (Rumsey 10640.000). Late in the company's life, it relocated to San Ramon, California.
