From CSULA & Sci-Arc
In East LA and on the Westside, there will be two different takes on how both to make a better and greener tomorrow for Los Angeles, whether the emphasis is on the business and economic means to get there or on how the millions in this metropolis can best feed themselves. The Edmund G. 'Pat' Brown Institute of Public Affairs kicks off the green Thursday this morning with a program that examines how to make Los Angeles not only a more environmentally sound but also a sustainable place to live. Business, academic and policy experts will take on the topic from economic and political perspectives asking, for example, what role government needs to play in the city's green efforts and how investments can be encouraged in cleaner technologies and infrastructure. This afternoon, then, at the Pacific Design Center, planners, architects, community activists and others will turn to 'dishing out' about LA, discussing how to feed residents of the region with sensible means of plotting, growing, producing and distributing food in this urban area. Participants also can take in a school exhibition on urban scale, planned and unplanned, including examinations of sustainable farming in Watts and a notion to distribute and move around the iconic Hollywood sign.
