/////////////////////
About the West LA Civic Center Plaza
Built between 1957 and 1965, the West LA Civic Center Plaza was created as a hub for administrative centers, including the West LA Courthouse, City Hall, and a regional branch library, whose Mid Century Modern design reflects the popular architectural styles and civic aspirations of the period. Since then, the Plaza and its buildings have been appropriated for alternative uses, such as skateboarding, a farmer’s market, a hangout for youth, and has at times provided shelter for unhoused residents. The entire Plaza is now slated for redevelopment, and community members and activists have called on city leaders to ensure that the space remains open to the needs and activities of alternative public space users. The intention of MAKE SPACE is to support these activists by raising awareness of their important contributions to the space and community at-large.
About (Un)Common
(Un)Common Public Space Group was started at the UCLA Luskin School for Public Affairs, by Ph.D. students in Urban Planning. Our mission is to host conversations about public space in situ and to connect diverse stakeholders in public space advocacy. MAKE SPACE is the third event we’ve organized, as part of a series of events about public space – in different LA neighborhoods and with multiple communities. Our first event sought to build intergenerational public space through musical performance and food. Our second event drew attention to nighttime experiences of public space through a community-led tour and design charrette.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Face masks are highly encouraged. Lunch will be provided.
Francesco Da Vinci is a journalist, peace activist, and public speaker. Francesco writes and speaks on conscientious objection to war, social justice, and peace through nonviolence. In his new memoir, I Refuse to Kill: My Path to Nonviolent Action in the 1960s, he chronicles his struggle to be recognized as a sincere conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, at the risk of a five-year prison term. Francesco’s case helped establish a legal precedent for all conscientious objectors who apply on “spiritual but non-religious” grounds.

About this event
It is our pleasure to invite you to an international conference that looks at the newly developed Berggruen Governance Index (BGI) in the context of wide range of indicator and global data systems, from Varieties of Democracy to the Quality of Government, and from the World Value Survey to indicators developed by the World Bank and other international organizations.

It examines the relationship between quality of democracy, state capacity, and quality of life in over 140 countries over an extended period.
