Between The Lines: How the 2028 Olympics & Paralympics can be a catalyst for bringing programmable public spaces to LA Metro corridors.

Los Angeles is a privatized city that has historically lacked public open space, ranking 66th in the country. Within its 4,751 square miles sprawl, there are too few places for people to congregate and recreate, especially along light rail and bus rapid transit lines, which offer a new way to experience the city.

As the region works to increase our mobility in time for the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games, millions of people will be successfully traversing 10 – 40 miles stretches without a car — all the way from Westwood to Downtown, Long Beach to Montclair, Santa Monica to Hollywood. But what about the points in between, the parts of the county that are not key Olympic destinations, but that hold cultural value for Los Angeles? How can they be strategically amplified to provide important cultural connections to visitor’s understanding of the county at large?
