Three Reads to Help You See Los Angeles in a New Way

Some recommendations from our team

Each member of our little team here at Making a Neighborhood does the work we do because we are deeply interested in how cities are made. For years before we all came together to discuss gentrification, neighborhoods, and urban planning, we separately pursued our curiosities about these subjects. Over the course of the next year, we want to occasionally share with you some of the books, articles, and other forms of media we have read or encountered that have shaped our understanding of Los Angeles and of cities in general. 

Today we are bringing you three recommendations. We are each focusing on one recommendation at a time because we want to give these recs space to breathe and to give you all time you need to dive into them before we suggest more reading and/or viewing. We would also love to hear what books, articles, and media you have encountered on this subject matter, so feel free to reach out with recommendations for us as well.
