ABSTRACT
The amount of land area covered by a project is a strong indicator of its loca-
tion within a metropolitan region. Among the projects we studied, the smaller
sites (such as Ramsay and the Pearl District) tend to be denser developments
in or around the urban core that take advantage of access to public infrastructure, such as transit and open-space amenities. Projects
with larger land area (such as Legacy Park and Valencia Town Center) are often regional destinations serving growth beyond the
inner ring of the urban core.
