Los Angeles River

Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger charging down a concrete lined bunker in The Terminator? That was actually the Los Angeles River. People didn’t even know it was there. Now the City is greening a thirty-two mile stretch of this forgotten river, taking it from a cement puddle to a restored corridor of wetlands and parks. It will help cool that part of the city and provide a linear green walkway, a beautiful focal point for the people who live alongside it. Once the river is naturalised, it can again connect the ocean to the landscape north of Los Angeles, recreating a corridor for wildlife.
