Bringing Livable Communities to L.A.
Imagine this…
What if communities could decide where they want housing and what they want it to look like?
The LCI is a framework that gives neighborhoods the tools to create vibrant streets with beautiful architecture and an abundance of gentle density, 3-5 stories of high-quality, low-cost housing. We work with experts from all over the world to understand what is working and how we can bring it to LA.
A Plan for Housing
The LCI is a framework for neighborhoods to imagine 3-5 stories of gentle density – residential above retail. Apartments are beautiful with high ceilings and courtyards with ample air and light. We advocate for buildings with stunning architecture that create a lovely street for everyone. See our Housing Plan
Guide for Better Streets
We envision communities where cars are slow and sidewalks are full of people sitting, dining and lingering. Neighborhoods where we design streets for everyone – for people to walk and children to bike to school- independently and full of joy. It is an uncompromising vision of a neighborhood that is safe for all of us, with access to jobs, Metro and high quality transit. See our Mobility Plan
LA’s First Bike Town
We envision 15-minute neighborhoods that can be car-light or car-free – where you can safely walk downstairs and there’s a grocery store to the left and restaurants and coffee shops to the right. Everything you need on a daily and weekly basis is a walk or bike ride away with transit and car share nearby. See more on Bike Towns and Social Housing.
