    THE REVIVAL OF DTLA Development projects that changed the Downtown Los Angeles landscape, 2012-2017. This publication was prepared by: Central City Association Jessica Lall, President & CEO, [email protected] Marie Rumsey, Vice President of Public Policy, [email protected] Tina Oh, Director of Communications, [email protected] Joanne Danganan, Associate Director of Public Policy and Membership, [email protected] About CCA 626 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 850 | Los Angeles, CA 90017 Established in 1924, Central City Association of Los Angeles (CCA) is the premier advocacy organization in the region and leading visionary on the future of Downtown Los Angeles. Through advocacy, influence and engagement, CCA enhances Downtown LA’s vibrancy and increases investment in the region.

FOREWORD Once deserted at 5 p.m. every weekday and most weekends, Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) is now the place to be for culinary and cultural adventures, with streets alive and active late into the night. Moreover, DTLA has been revived as an international destination, thanks in no small part to CCA’s members, who had the faith and the vision to advance a vibrant city center. The first of its kind by CCA, this publication offers a glimpse of what some of our members’ projects have contributed to the city at large and how they have transformed DTLA, its neighborhoods, and its identity for the better.

  • The Neighborly Substation the Neighborly Substation Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design
    MANHATTAN INSTITUTE CENTER FORTHE RETHINKING DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Hope Cohen 2008 er B ecem D THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design Hope Cohen Deputy Director Center for Rethinking Development Manhattan Institute In 1879, the remarkable thing about Edison’s new lightbulb was that it didn’t burst into flames as soon as it was lit. That disposed of the first key problem of the electrical age: how to confine and tame electricity to the point where it could be usefully integrated into offices, homes, and every corner of daily life. Edison then designed and built six twenty-seven-ton, hundred-kilowatt “Jumbo” Engine-Driven Dynamos, deployed them in lower Manhattan, and the rest is history. “We will make electric light so cheap,” Edison promised, “that only the rich will be able to burn candles.” There was more taming to come first, however. An electrical fire caused by faulty wiring seriously FOREWORD damaged the library at one of Edison’s early installations—J. P. Morgan’s Madison Avenue brownstone. Fast-forward to the massive blackout of August 2003. Batteries and standby generators kicked in to keep trading alive on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. But the Amex failed to open—it had backup generators for the trading-floor computers but depended on Consolidated Edison to cool them, so that they wouldn’t melt into puddles of silicon. Banks kept their ATM-control computers running at their central offices, but most of the ATMs themselves went dead. Cell-phone service deteriorated fast, because soaring call volumes quickly drained the cell- tower backup batteries.
