WHAT'S NEXT?

What do we think of when we consider the future of our city? What is possible and realistic? What does it mean to improve our quality of life with the current and upcoming impacts of climate change? Some of the images below can help to imagine what is possible. These are realistic opportunities right here in Los Angeles and right in your own front yard. These are changes that not only improve the way we live in this city by making it more beautiful, all of the changes that can be seen below also help to cool our city and invigorate our comfort in the place we call home.
