From the publisher

Magnetic Los Angeles challenges the widely held view of the expanding twentieth-century city as the sprawling product of dispersion without planning and lacking any discernable order. Using Los Angeles as a case study, Greg Hise argues that the twentieth-century metropolitan region is the product of conscious planning-by policy makers, industrialists, design professionals, community builders, and homebuyers-in direct response to political and economic conditions of the 1920s and the Depression, the defense emergency, and the immediate postwar years.

First line

On Saturday, November 17, 1928, Los Angeles planning luminaries Gordon G. Whitnall, Charles H. Cheney, and Hugh R. Pomeroy addressed a crowd assembled for the dedication of the first completely improved civic park ever granted to that city (fig. 1.1).
