Colloquium and Lunch from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

Much of the world thinks that Los Angeles just happened by chancethe inexplicable yet

somehow inevitable outcome of booming population growth and real estate investment

unconstrained by coordinated intentions or public policy. Planners know better, and this event

is all about refuting the persistent stereotype of an unplanned Los Angeles. Experts in the field

will present on more than a century of plans, planners and planning, including the citys first

comprehensive plan; a state-of-the-art urban design for the last undeveloped area on the

Westside; and innovative policies encouraging the amazing resurgence of a supposedly non-existent Downtown. Anyone interested in how our metropolis has been shaped and reshaped

by purposeful planning should attendand be prepared to discuss and debate possible lessons

for the next generation of planners.

This event draws its speakers and issues from the new book Planning Los Angeles, a diverse

collection of more than two dozen essays examining many aspects of LAs urbanism and

urbanization. (Published by the American Planning Associations Planners Press, copies of the

book will be available for purchase.) Author/presenters will include:

David Sloane, Professor, USC Price School of Public Policy Vinit Mukhija, Associate Professor, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs Vinayak Bharne, Director of Design, Moule & Polyzoides Architects & Urbanists Ken Bernstein, Manager, Office of Historic Resources, LA Department of City Planning Todd Gish, Urban Designer and Historian
