LA's School Construction: A Model For The Future?
10 November 2000 - 12:00pm
The Los Angeles Unified School District hasn't built a school in 20 years. Their most recent attempt has been a disaster. Is this the future?
"One of the largest and most important construction sites in Los Angeles today is situated a half-mile west of City Hall and the emerging cultural skyline of downtown. Visible from the 110 Harbor freeway, this 35-acre construction site is bounded by Temple Street to the north, Beverly Boulevard to the south, and Beaudry Avenue to the east. A visitor, expecting to see the workings of a full-blown construction site seeping into the neighboring streets, will be greeted silence and questions surrounding this barren acreage, known as the Belmont Learning Complex."

Its very unsuitability for an urban center justifies its current usage as a suburban or ex-urban pattern.
