"Mission Bay...is more than an enormous subdivision. It is one of the most significant urban reuse projects in the country, converting former industrial land to housing, offices, parks and an ambitious new campus for the University of California focused on biotechnology....Housing and urban design activists remain enthusiastic about the long term prospects for the site. They say Mission Bay is a bold example of the New Urbanism, where jobs, homes, services and transit are built close together to reduce congestion and suburban sprawl.
