REGIONAL EXPLORATIONS

Looking beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Los Angeles is home to sizeable poor and vulnerable populations. We’ll travel to East L.A. to learn about innovative efforts to support a variety of at-risk populations, including a tour of Boyle Heights, the former gang capital of L.A., and Homeboy Industries, an internationally recognized program serving gang-involved and formerly incarcerated individuals. We’ll also hear from leaders of a public health collaborative focused on youth and learn about recent statewide criminal justice reforms.

In a region defined by its diversity, cross-cultural coalitions in Greater L.A. are driving positive change at the neighborhood, city, and state levels. We’ll visit Little Tokyo—one of the three remaining Japantowns in the U.S.—to learn how this community is maintaining its cultural heritage amidst redevelopment and gentrification pressures. We’ll also visit South L.A. and hear from community and government leaders on how the 1992 riots helped spark coalition-building across ethnic and racial communities for neighborhood development and political change.

From the four-year drought that continues to impact Angelenos on a daily basis to exciting plans to restore the Los Angeles River to its natural state, water is a top-of-mind issue in the Southland. We’ll learn about the ambitious L.A. River revitalization effort and visit the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, an innovative collaboration among the City of Los Angeles, the region’s business community, and local universities, where entrepreneurs are developing next-generation green technologies that are positioning L.A. as a cleantech leader.

Regional Explorations 09

The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach—which together form the largest port complex in the Western hemisphere—and Los Angeles International Airport—currently the seventh busiest airport in the world—are significant anchors in a thriving logistics and goods movement sector in Southern California. We’ll tour the Port of Los Angeles and learn about its and LAX’s efforts to grow Los Angeles’s competitive edge as a global business and trade hub through infrastructure investments and state-of-the-art technologies.

A growing technology sector focused on the region’s entertainment and healthcare strengths has emerged on L.A.’s west side in an area dubbed “Silicon Beach.” We’ll visit Santa Monica, where one in four workers is employed in the tech industry and where innovations in local government have drawn national attention. We’ll take a walking tour of this iconic beachside community—home of the world famous Santa Monica Pier—and hear from top public and private sector leaders on the emergence of Silicon Beach.

Just as Philadelphia has worked to shore up its historic life sciences sector strengths, Los Angeles has maintained its competitive advantage in the entertainment industry. However, amidst increasing global pressures on the industry, technology that has dispersed post-production processes, and fierce competition for talent, Los Angeles risks losing its dominance as the entertainment capital of the world. We’ll head to Hollywood to hear from experts on how L.A. is shoring up its legacy creative economy strengths and visit Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a look at innovations in healthcare.
