Why 'Open Space' in LA?
Why 'Open Space' in LA?, from Architecture Week.
Public Space LA! was held in October 2007. This article summarizes some of the discussion: "Despite the breadth of posited questions, the summit's focus largely boiled down to parks. That narrowed scope almost implied that parks are the entirety of public open space rather than a subset of it, and one hopes that the next such summit will remedy this issue. That criticism aside, there were plenty of ideas to fill this worthwhile day. No one is going to say 'No' to parks as such - only in comparison to other things competing for funds. Various panelists stated as much, and so the talk quickly moved to leveraging the benefits of parks to convince voters, investors, and politicians that parks are not just icing, but the cake itself."
