- Summary:
- An urban enclave with more than 800 buildings and 1,500 acres of land, the Presidio served as a military post for over two centuries until its closing in the late 1980s. This insightful study of the Presidio's transformation from Army base to national park offers a better understanding of contemporary land use issues and also a model for similar urban greening possibilities.
