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.

The Type V City presents innovative research into urban material patterns, expanding the understanding of socio-economic and ecological vulnerability as influenced by building material properties through various systems of regulation, financing, and construction. 'Type V' is one of the International Building Code's construction types that rate levels of material combustibility. Since the early Twentieth Century, building codes used construction types to control material distribution across American cities. Code-based urban patterns emerged from these rules to define neighbourhood material characteristics and layer new material strata. The resulting cumulative protection from conflagration was achieved. However additional, unintentional cumulative performance was ignored. The
