Idea about how to make LA a better place to create, submitted by this organization in the 2019 challenge.
Make LA the best place to CREATE
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region empowers its residents to harness their creativity by fostering entrepreneurship, cultural diversity, and inclusivity.
In 2050, Los Angeles will continue to play host to the largest concentration of working artists in the nation and provide support to maintain (and build) its robust collection of arts establishments. It will lead the nation in manufacturing and become an international leader in technology and innovation. Our region will be a center for entrepreneurial activity that creates jobs and generates wealth for a diverse, flexible, and talented workforce. LA’s business community will reflect the diversity of our region, enhancing our international business opportunities.
On the Road: LA
On the Road: LA allows Angelenos to discover LA through the lens of underrepresented people (immigrants, people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ). Film Independent will award five grants to filmmakers to create short films about the intersections of identity and culture in LA. Films will explore an LA neighborhood— titled by an intersection—and screen at our inclusion summit with a panel discussion, helping to further dialogue between Angelenos and communities under attack.

Idea about how to make LA a better place to connect, submitted by this organization in the 2018 challenge.
Make LA the best place to CONNECT
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region is a place where every resident has the opportunity to engage and interact with other Angelenos and are empowered to contribute meaningfully in civic processes.
In 2050, Los Angeles will be the most civically engaged region in the U.S., with multiple online and offline platforms for residents to voice their opinions and influence elected officials, decision-makers, and local government. Our region’s voting rates and volunteerism will lead the nation, and an expanded network of transportation options will facilitate the easy flow of people and ideas.
