WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROWDSOURCE

$1,000,000 FOR 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.”

Here are the key trends which emerged from submissions (click on the icon to learn more):

The Problem: Food Deserts

Largely white neighborhoods have three “times as many supermarkets as Black neighborhoods and nearly twice as many markets as Latino neighborhoods in Los Angeles.”

LA2050

@shaunanep


Design + Food = Health Public Matters + Market Makeovers !


How might we increase access to healthy foods in food deserts?

@shaunanep


@shaunanep


Because of Market Makeovers, 10,000 residents now have access to healthier, affordable food.

Design + Food = Health LA Street Vendor Campaign


LA2050

How might we provide access to healthy food in areas where access is low in under resourced communities?

@shaunanep


LA2050

The legalization of street vending will bring 10,000 low income entrepreneurs into the formal economy, and increase access to healthy food for thousands of residents.

@shaunanep


Design + Food = Health Guerilla Gardening


LA2050

How might we provide access to healthy food in areas where access is low, and the infrastructure is non existent?

@shaunanep


LA2050

The legalization of curb side gardening has truly shifted the culture of Los Angeles, and brought the vision of Los Angeles as a “food forest” closer to reality than ever before.

LA Open Acres is facilitating the transformation of the city’s thousands of acres of vacant and underutilized lands into vibrant green, public places that contribute to the health and well-being of local residents.

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?’ !!-Amanda Burden, Director of New York City’s Department of City Planning
