Dan Garcia, who has served on nearly every significant commission in Los Angeles, offers his vision for planning in L.A.
Over the past 20 years--whether it was from his perch on the Planning Commission, CRA Board, Airport Commission--Dan Garcia has seen, done or voiced an opinion on almost every facet of development and quality of life here in the Los Angeles region. The Planning Report talks with Dan Garcia about the infrastructure in Los Angeles, what's lacking and how we can utilize the dwindling civic and business leadership in the region to shape a new vision which not only prioritizes the individual aspects of housing, redevelopment and transportation, but begins to link them into a cohesive plan for economic investment.
