"Hunters Point is a decommissioned military base in San Francisco now on the verge of redevelopment with an emphasis on industrial uses by the city. The landscape architects were hired by an environmental justice non-profit organization to analyze development issues and to create concept plans for a park at Hunters Point Shipyard. Reconciling community desires with contentious issues of site contamination and habitat potential, the project resulted in a document that makes a case for a large park as an economic generator, a catalyst for clean-up, and a critical step in achieving environmental justice for this community."
