PERSHING SQUARE
Pershing Square has reflected Los Angeles' economic and social growth since its inception in 1866 as “La Plaza Abaja.” It was later dedicated to the American military hero of WWI, General Pershing. In the1950s progress required a parking lot for 1800 cars – built under the Square. Pershing Square serves as an outdoor concert and event center providing numerous free programs for the community.
Sustainability Committee
Launched in October 2008, the DLANC Sustainability Committee has been developing a community greening strategy and resource toolkit for Downtown and Los Angeles stakeholders.
Our Mission
The Sustainability Committee is dedicated to empowering the downtown community to create a culture of sustainability. We will work with the community to increase accessibility to existing programs and services through outreach and public education. We will identify and create opportunities for new programming and partnerships to meet our goals for a more livable, affordable, and efficient urban center.
Regular monthly meetings and project workshops
The Committee meets the first Tuesday of every month from 6:30 to 7:45 at the Central Public Library.
