If Angeleno’s do not like what
projections are saying about our
future, then we as citizens,
organizations, stakeholders, and
policymakers can work together
towards a more successful Los
Angeles – one that empowers us and
takes full advantage of the potential
our region holds.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROWDSOURCE
$1,000,000FOR SOCIAL CHANGE IN LOS ANGELES?
We asked the community to dream up the most innovative, imaginative ideas on how to improve the future of Los Angeles. Here is
what we learned:
1. ANGELENOS COLLABORATE.
The collective spirit of Angelenos was evident, as a majority of submissions proposed collaboration with others, with nearly a
quarter of the proposals coming from an existing partnership.
2. ANGELENOS ARE EAGER AND READY TO TEST NEW IDEAS.
44 percent of submissions were pilot stage projects, testing a new idea on a small scale in order to prove feasibility of a concept.
3. ANGELENOS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT APPETITE FOR CHANGE IN THE WAY WE CONNECT
WITH EACH OTHER.
73 percent of submissions sought to increase / improve Angelenos’ daily connections with one another (where, when, and how).
4. ANGELENOS ARE MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT EDUCATION.
Education received the most submissions of any category.
5. TO IDENTIFY CREATIVE, ORIGINAL SOLUTIONS THAT ARE UNIQUELY LOS ANGELES –
ASK LOS ANGELES.
From pop-up artisanal villages to market makeovers, organizations submitted original ideas that felt distinctively “Los Angeles.”

When we think of cities, we think of buildings and skyscrapers. But cities are primarily
about people. They’re about where people go and where they meet – that’s the core
of how cities work. And for the people, even more important than the buildings are the
public spaces in between them. That is what makes cities come alive. The central
question I ask myself is, ‘What makes a public space work? What is it about unsuccessful
places that keeps people away?’
