  In 1920, as its population began to explode, Los Angeles was a largely pastoral city of bungalows and palm trees. This title shows how the clash of irreconcilable utopian visions and dreams resulted in the invention of an unforeseen form of urbanism that would reshape not only Southern California but much of the nation.
