Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and The Imagination of Disaster
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page paper addresses this major issue.
Los Angeles, the City of Angels, has also been described as the city of dreams and the city of hope. In an almost prophetic tale of conflict and decline, Mike Davis, in Ecology of Hope: Los Angeles and The Imagination of Disaster, argues that Los Angeles is a city poised for disaster. It is Davis' developed belief that Los Angeles is a city that was constructed in a manner that lends itself to susceptibility to disaster, and promotes a lifestyle that is completely unprepared for these types of natural responses to urban development. More particularly, the major changes that land developers, business leaders and urban planners have made to the region determine the vulnerability of the city to natural disaster. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
