ABOUT

Using information from public records, we map how Los Angeles built out over the decades.
Search for addresses and zoom in to see buildings at the street level.

EXPLORATION

      • Where were the beginnings of urban Los Angeles?
      • Which decades saw the biggest increase in construction?
      • Where has newer growth occurred and why? (be sure to zoom out!)
      • Where is construction happening in the most recent decades and why?
