A Call for a Brighter Future
Good Magazine Think Space- Hollywood, CA

Join fellow urban thinkers for “LA 2.0,” to respond to our President’s call for fresh ideas for the 21st Century city. Are you an urban practitioner- a designer, artist, policy maker, planner, engineer, demographer, advocate, etc., working to improve the physical urban environment? Are you passionate about the future of LA? Interested in collaborating with top-notch urban thinkers?  Concerned with the quality of our built environment? Are you convinced the City can look better and function better and have some ideas of how? Then roll up your sleeves, get a seat at the table, and make your voice heard! Obama and your City need you! “LA 2.0″ will be a fast-paced, energetic afternoon think-tank with the best and brightest, most creative and critical urban thinkers in LA. The goal: to connect dynamic thinkers, get creative juices flowing, and emerge with a list of the top 5 catalytic strategies to improve the physical urban environment of Los Angeles. The focus is on fresh ideas, new approaches, and inter-disciplinary collaboration. “LA 2.0″ will culminate with an ad hoc presentation and engaging discussion with a guest panel comprised of some of the city’s leading urban practitioners. 

Final recommendations will be compiled into a letter to send to Obama’s Office of Urban Affairs and the City of Los Angeles. Go to www.good.is/LA2point0 to apply to participate in the upcoming “LA 2.0″ event, join the 2.0 Team, and create the catalytic changes that our City and our President need!  Young professionals are encouraged to apply! Application Deadline November 10.
