City Layout
- LA is not a single city, but is many communities
wrapped by the surrounding urban sprawl, totaling
464 square miles. - The streets themselves are straight and arrayed
into a grid pattern. The only exception is the
southwestern residential area around the Rolling
Hills. - The overall layout of LA is sporadic at best
since the city is composed of many smaller cities
that have merged to become LA as we know it
today. - LA is also the home of one of the most unique
streets in the world. Ventura Blvd is a 17 mile
long bazaar of restaurants, hotels, shopping
strips and night clubs.
