For sheer environmental, cultural, and recreational benefit, few projects match the potential of an ecology-minded and people-centric revitalization of the Los Angeles River. By utilizing a balance of advanced engineering and imaginative planning, the LA River can be of comparable civic worth to New York’s Central Park, Chicago’s Grant Park, or Washington’s Rock Creek Park. The sustainable concepts for LA River were developed in collaboration with Gehry Partners and Bruce Mau Design.
