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.

  • 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
