Downtown Los Angeles Strategic Plan

Los Angeles, California

The Downtown Strategic Plan has over the past three decades, transformed the urban heart of Los Angeles into a highly connected, 24-hour, live-work district. This work coordinated policy and design, private intervention, and community participation for an interdisciplinary approach to revitalizing a major urban center. The Plan is characterized by a system of civic and neighborhood parks, a sophisticated network of streets, and an evolving subway and light rail transit system. Building use, density and form guidelines are outlined, along with a collection of catalytic projects that helped galvanize redevelopment and return Downtown Los Angeles to its former prominence.
