Part of the series Future L.A.: Engineering a Sustainable Supercity

Hot! Hot! Hot!

  • This is a past program

Hotter, drier summers and winters, which mean longer fire seasons and increasingly poor air quality, are already a stark reality for Angelenos. By 2050, Los Angeles will only become hotter. Researchers at UCLA as well as the city and county of Los Angeles are taking steps toward designing healthier communities by setting ambitious sustainability targets. Panelists include Lauren Faber O’Connor, chief sustainability officer for the city of Los Angeles; Jisung Park, assistant professor of public policy at UCLA; George Ban-Weiss, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at USC; and moderator Mark Gold.
