Los Angeles Reimagined 

 From Sierra 

​

For more than 20 years, a community of deeply engaged residents, activists, artists, scientists, and culture workers has been reimagining what an urban and wild Los Angeles can be. The significance of that vision is more urgent than ever. The unique geography of Southern California makes it particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change—water scarcity, wildfires, rising seas, air pollution amplified by rising temperatures, flooding. Now Los Angeles, project by project, neighborhood by neighborhood, is a city at the vanguard of addressing the climate crisis by transforming public spaces into green spaces, replenishing native habitat, and preserving mature shade trees to increase the protective tree canopy. Many Angelenos have long advanced such notions for LA; today they have a better chance of succeeding, thanks to a push by the federal government.
