LA RIVER MASTER PLAN
The LA River Master Plan seeks to create an equitable future along the reimagined river.
Existing Ecosystem & Habitat Conditions
Despite being highly urbanized, the LA River watershed sits within one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, the California Floristic Province, one of only five Mediterranean climate regions in the world.
KIT OF PARTS
The LA River Master Plan design approach is based on a series of interventions that can be deployed within and adjacent to the river corridor.
The LA River Master Plan utilizes a kit of parts that includes possible design typologies for sites along the LA River. Each typology is associated with certain Master Plan goals. Kit of parts components are meant to be used in various combinations and can support a variety of biodiverse plant and wildlife habitats along the river.
The Master Plan also includes a list of common elements, such as restrooms, environmental graphics, and lighting, that can work in tandem with the kit of parts to ensure an equitable distribution of amenities among project sites and along the entire LA River Trail.
