South Park Walking Tour
March 14 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Join us for an immersive walking tour of Downtown Los Angeles’ South Park neighborhood — including L.A. Live — and discover how strategic investment, policy, and design reshaped one of the city’s most dynamic districts.
We’ll stop at 15 key landmarks to unpack the forces that transformed this area into a vibrant hub of entertainment, mixed-use development, and urban life.
Tour Host: Nate Cherry, AIA – Director, Perkins Eastman
A nationally recognized thought leader on the intersection of strategy, design, and human behavior, Nate brings decades of experience leading large-scale redevelopment projects — from sports and entertainment districts to transit-oriented communities and innovation hubs.
Through the lens of real projects, we’ll explore:
- The history and development partnerships behind South Park
- The role (and dissolution) of the Community Redevelopment Agency
- How L.A. Live catalyzed neighborhood-wide growth
- Community Benefits Agreements and flexible entitlements
- The Signage Ordinance and its urban impact
- Investments in open space, mobility, and creative land use
See firsthand how policy, capital, and design converge to shape the future of our cities.
Space is limited — reserve your spot and experience the evolution of Downtown L.A. up close.
