Two years after publishing the path breaking "Sprawl Hits The Wall," the University of Southern California is today releasing an invaluable "idea bank" for Southern California in the form of two reports: "After Sprawl: Action Plans for Metropolitan Los Angeles" and “Action Plans for Metropolitan Los Angeles: Supplemental Reports.” These reports outline a series of action steps that respond to Southern California as a unique region and revolve around five different themes: growing smarter, growing safer, growing greener, growing together, and growing more civic-minded. They're the result of a two-year urban policy series led by former Speaker of the California State Assembly Antonio Villaraigosa, during his residency at USC as a Distinguished Research Fellow, and USC Center for Sustainable Cities Director Jennifer Wolch.
