HOLLYWOOD SUNSET BOULEVARD/CIVIC CENTER URBAN DESIGN PLAN

Prakash Pinto Partnerswas Principal in Charge (while with Perkins+Will) working for the CRA/LA on an urban design plan for Sunset Boulevard and Civic Center in the Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area of Los Angeles. Hollywood, the center of the motion picture industry, has evolved from an outlying residential community into a dense urban center. Sunset Boulevard is a key commercial spine running through Hollywood with a rich mix of low and high-rise buildings.

The new urban design plan will promote context-sensitive sustainable planning that will benefit neighborhoods, promote preservation and open space, establish the neighborhood’s identity, and embody the community’s vision for the area by offering clear guidelines and development standards to developers, landowners, and the city for future development of this vital commercial corridor and Civic Center.
