Like most <br />cities along the Peninsula, Redwood City saw a spike in housing development in the <br />1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Housing construction boomed based on post-World War II <br />demand and the availability of vast amounts of inexpensive, undeveloped land. <br />From 1970-2010, however, housing production fell significantly, and was primarily <br />focused in the Redwood Shores area, rather than in the city core. A similar development <br />pattern occurred up and down the Peninsula. Regionally, residential development <br />shifted to the South Bay and East Bay regions. <br /> <br />While housing production slowed between 1970-2010, job growth did not, particularly in <br />Silicon Valley. <br />0 <br />1000 <br />2000 <br />3000 <br />4000 <br />5000 <br />6000 <br />7000 <br />8000 <br />1940-1949 1950-1959 1960-1969 1970-1979 1980-1989 1990-1999 2000-2009 2010-Present <br />Homes Built in Redwood City <br />Approved/Built Proposed <br />8.A - Page 2
