On the heels of the recent
City Council vote to allow the construction of a series of micro-parks in Los
Angeles, researchers from UCLA Luskin's Complete Streets Initiative are releasing a comprehensive guidebook
to planning, building and maintaining “parklets,”—small parks created in urban
areas from the conversion of parking spots, alleyways and other underutilized spaces
for cars into places for people.
