The Visual Environment of Los Angeles
Los Angeles: Dept. City Planning, 1971. Item #015703
In the middle of the 20th century the city of Los Angeles would take your front lawn and your street trees to widen the roads and accommodate the ceaseless increase of traffic. While unable to solve the traffic problem the City Planning Department in this book focuses on "part of the total problem and identifies problems and assets in the City's appearance and describes opportunities for correcting the problems and protecting the assets through the actions of government, civic organizations, business and individual citizens..." a sentence that probably explains why nothing these guys could come up with worked. First edition. 23 cm; 71 pp.; illustrated from photographs, plans, drawings, and maps. Small tear to rear wrapper; else a good copy or better in pictorial wrappers.
Price: $50.00
