MYTH: California Forever is a sprawl development.

Tue Jul 16 2024

Urban sprawl is formally defined as development that is low density, with segregated land uses, and not planned.

California Forever is the opposite – we’re building a thoughtfully planned, compact, mixed use, city, with everything there – jobs, homes, schools, stores, restaurants, and things to do.

The average densities for the proposed new city are higher than the rest of the Bay Area, and rates of driving are lower than the rest of the Bay Area. The plan is the opposite of sprawl.
