The article focuses on life in the new emerging towns in California. Over 100 New Towns of one description or another are presently under construction in the United States. The two most ambitious New Towns under construction in California are Foster City, located about 20 miles south of San Francisco on the San Francisco peninsula and Valencia, in the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles. The towns achieve variety and visual appeal them by providing for a great deal of open space (a very great deal more in the plans for Valencia than for Foster City), parks, malls, riding trails, lakes and lagoons.
