THE BRADBURY BUILDING
Internationally famed for its architectural elegance and uniqueness, the Bradbury was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. It was designed in 1893 by architect George Wyman, who rumor prevails, only took the commission because his dead brother told him to - in a ghostly Ouija board message. The magnificence of the building is the five story interior atrium with extensive wrought iron lacework and skylight.
Planning & Land Use Committee
The Planning & Land Use Committee focuses on the broad variety of planning issues arising
out of the dramatic redevelopment of Downtown LA. The Committee facilitates and provides a
forum for public discussion and input on individual projects and general policy decisions re-
shaping Downtown's landscape. Our goal is to encourage innovative and responsible land use
planning that improves Downtown for all current and future stakeholders, including residents,
businesses, workers, and the City as a whole. We recognize that the redevelopment of
Downtown has both social and economic impacts, and that the on-going transformation of our
metropolis is occurring against the background of cultural and historic resources that must be
preserved. Our guiding principles encourage excellent architecture and design that is
sustainable, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly, and compatible with existing and developing
uses in the many neighborhoods that make up Downtown.
