Newsweek asked celebrated architecture firms around the world to posit what our cities will look like in 2030. New York was the first city examined. More recently, Michael Maltzan, Gensler and cityLAB-UCLA were asked to re-think Los Angeles.
Gensler described its vision for the future LA like this:
“In the future, life, work, commuting, and recreation will not be experienced as distinct activities but will blend into one lifestyle. Increased mobility and ubiquitous access to bandwidth for increased global connectivity will optimize use of Los Angeles’ temperate climate to further blur the line between inside and outside. This will expand the spatial boundaries within which multiple activities can occur simultaneously. Individuals will be freer to roam, liberated from the traditional relationship between task and place.” -Gensler
