Mia Lehrer: "Recalibrating The Los Angeles River" | October 31, recommended by Amelia Taylor-Hochberg

As a key figure in the River's 2007 master plan, Mia Lehrer was working on revitalization efforts long before Frank Gehry became involved. Her perspective on the River and its impact on LA's landscape urbanism is invaluable, making her talk at USC a must-do for anyone interested in the river.

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
