When David Sloane was asked to write a book about urban planning in Los Angeles, he balked. One person’s take on such a big and dynamic city would be far too limiting, he thought.

Urban parks take over downtown freeways
Cities are removing the concrete barriers that freeways form through their downtowns — not by tearing them down but by shrouding them in greenery and turning them into parks and pedestrian-friendly developments.
