Our largest and most ambitious effort is LA2050, a movement shaping and building the future of Los Angeles.
LA2050 is rooted in a vision of a successful Los Angeles—a healthy, thriving, and desirable place to live. Our goal is to provide a framework to harness the area’s untapped potential and lay out a roadmap to create a metropolis that boasts a robust middle class. We foresee an environment that fosters innovation and embraces community. Ultimately, LA2050 will promote a future where people are deeply engaged in rebuilding and reshaping Los Angeles.
We’ve looked at the health of the region along well-defined indicators: education, income and employment, health, public safety, housing, environmental quality, arts and cultural vitality, and social connectedness. We’ve formed a comprehensive picture of how Los Angeles performs along these indicators today. And we’ve made informed projections about how the region will fare in decades to come if we continue on our current trajectory.
The goal of LA2050 is to challenge the status quo and demand more for the future of our region—and to build and shape Los Angeles as a thriving metropolis and hub of 21st Century citizenry.
Explore LA2050. Follow the stories of the eight indicators. Then join us to shape and build the future of Los Angeles.
