Los Angeles School

Los Angeles School

The Los Angeles School of Urbanism is an academic movement emerged during the mid-1980s, loosely based at the University of Southern California and UCLA, that poses a challenge to the dominant Chicago School of Urbanism.

While the Chicago School presents a modernist theory of cities as based around central cores, the Los Angeles School proposes a postmodern vision where peripheral urban communities predominate over an evacuated city center. This re-visioning engenders a new consideration of accepted concepts like urban sprawl and suburbanization.

Key thinkers of the Los Angeles School include:
*Michael Dear
*Stephen Flusty
*Mike Davis (scholar)
*Allen J Scott
*Edward Soja
*Michael Storper
*Jennifer Wolch

ee also

*Post-fordism
*Globalization
