The article discusses the development of Ballona Wetlands, California. Ballona doesn't have the pristine look of rural wilderness. On its eastern end is an abandoned aircraft-manufacturing plant and to the west is a natural gas storage field. After three tense years of negotiation and deal making, "DreamWorks SKG," the film studio, signed an agreement to build its headquarters on the Ballona property. The developers, Playa Capital, plan to move ahead with the largest urban development in U.S. history.
