Summer in the City: Hawthorne

Summer in the City is a series introducing APA LA's members to the latest innovative, proactive planning in cities around the Los Angeles region. Between June and August, we'll visit several cities whose staff will lead tours, site visits, and presentations that showcase their planning and community development efforts.

On June 21, the first of our 2015 series will take us to Hawthorne. We'll start off with coffee and breakfast at Hawthorne City Hall for a presentation and discussion revolving around the City's most pertinent planning efforts: Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan; Crenshaw Station Active Transportation Plan; and the Hawthorne EcoVillage Master Plan. We will then dive into the history of Hawthorne with a a tour of the nearby Hawthorne Historical Museum. Afterwards, we'll tour the development efforts taking place at the Hawthorne Mall.
