ReCentering and The Cannery Area Design Plan
Location: Hayward, California. First ring industrial suburb
Hayward is an older industrial and railroad town on San Francisco Bay, just south of Oakland. For decades, the city's canning industry declined and its traditional street pattern was slowly destroyed by regional freeways and ill-designed parking for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). A decade ago, a group of City officials teamed with consultants to create a new downtown plan, called ReCentering. After eight years watching it succeed, the same team developed a plan for the adjacent Cannery Area.
