Though space is limited in the "Anchorage
bowl," as locals call the peninsula on which the city is
located, many parks, greenbelts, and other undeveloped areas
can be found within the city itself, making it particularly
attractive to nature lovers (to say nothing of the attractions
available just a short distance outside the city). Over the
past thirty years, however, many of these undeveloped areas
have filled in with houses, strip malls, and other development.
Nonetheless, there is an enormous amount of land under the Anchorage
municipal control: some 1,955 square miles (5063 km²) about
the size of Delaware. The vast majority of this land is located
within the Chugach mountains to the east of the city, which
also comprises Chugach State Park.
