Downtown Los Angeles

Downtown LA embraces LA’s every social, economic and ethnic division. It’s not the highrise megalopolis you might expect; relatively few towering office blocks punctuate its low and level skyline. During the postwar boom, as businesses spread out across the basin, it seemed to be heading for dilapidation and decay, but the corporate revitalization of the Eighties has given it a new life, at least economically.
