Despite its solid and impressive appearance, the urban Bay Area landscape remains a thin, freshly-constructed veneer over the native landscape. This underlying legacy of forests, marshlands, and shorelines still largely shapes the region, defining the physical spaces we experience each day and the potential future scenarios of construction, destruction, and restoration.
