A Green Metropolis
The first storyline under the year-long KCETLink/LENS partnership focuses on the past, present and possible futures of Taylor Yard, an undeveloped and still-contaminated site adjacent to the L.A. River.
The Los Angeles River is the foundation of settlement in this region. While the 20th century virtually transformed it into a man-made storm drain, the past decade has seen a renaissance of the river as the site of artistic, social, educational, and recreational activity. KCET has documented and supported river communities and activities through Departures, the Northeast L.A. Riverfront project, and its ongoing coverage in Confluence.
