Abstract

Through the twentieth century, Los Angeles caught the eye of many an urban scholar, resulting in a series of seminal books which examined the city and its relationship to those who live within it. In Street Level, Rob Sullivan aims to provide a review of this literature whilst also giving readers a clear account of L.A. as it exists today. Sullivan finds space for fascinating stories of legal crusading and anecdotes about architectural travesties which entertain and inform, but overall Ben Mueller is dissatisfied with the author’s approach.
