San Francisco / California / USA /1645
Mission Bay in San Francisco stands as one of the most gentrified areas in the United States. Historically, this region was an integral part of San Francisco Bay and the expansive Chaparral ecology, serving as a natural refuge for numerous waterfowl species. However, since the mid-19th century, it became a repository for construction waste, altering its natural landscape. Today, Mission Bay is a hub for biotech companies, the NBAs Golden State Warriors, and major technology firms. Its transformation into a modern architectural complex with block-sized landscapes has often disregarded the local context and ecological transitions.
