    Which Way, L.A.?

    Is It Time for Los Angeles to Finally Grow Up?

    The character and the landscape of Los Angeles is undergoing a transformation. Many large building projects, on hold since the Great Recession, are not just back on the drawing boards but under construction. We used the Public Insight Network to ask our listeners how they feel about that.

    The character and the landscape of Los Angeles is undergoing a transformation. Many large building projects, on hold since the Great Recession, are not just back on the drawing boards but under construction. We used the Public Insight Network to ask our listeners how they feel about that. We also hear from designers, builders and architectural writers.
