“Vision 2020: Leading Los Angeles into the Future”


The 2011 AIA|LA Breakfast Series

Will Los Angeles ever be a beautiful, pedestrian friendly city with a functional mass
transit system? Or is it just fated to be ugly, smoggy and live up to myth that nobody
walks in LA? How can we help influence Los Angeles movers and shakers to make this
city more functional? AIA|LA invites you to participate in a series of candid discussions
over coffee and pastries with a core set of city leaders. Network with other architects and
business leaders and share your ideas for how to improve the city.

“Vision 2020: Leading Los Angeles into the Future” serves as an opportunity for
architects and designers to meet directly with civic leaders to discuss ideas for how Los
Angeles can best attain a healthy, sustainable and economically competitive future.

The monthly AIA|LA Breakfast Receptions serve as leadership forums to discuss issues
relevant to improving the built and natural environment of the City in areas relating to
economic development, energy and water conservation, open space, architecture, urban
design and land-use policy. Past speakers have included: Deputy Mayor Austin Beutner,
LADBS General Manager Bud Ovrom, Council President Eric Garcetti, Councilmembers
Labonge, Parks, Reyes, Krekorian, Koretz, Perry, former LAUSD Supervisor David
Brewer and County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky among many other notable city leaders.
