• River, Revitalized 2023 CPP LA6081L_Proof_sm.pdf

Synopsis

Cal Poly Pomona Master of Landscape Architecture students in LA6071L (fall 2022) + LA6081L (spring 2023) Master Project studio, in partnership with LA Waterkeeper evaluated strategies and tactics required to naturalize the Los Angeles River. The team concluded that removing the concrete bottom and restoring native riparian habitat along the entire Los Angeles River is feasible once sufficient storm water retention capacity is developed.
