Los Angeles: A History of the Future

“I’m delighted to see someone illustrating steps towards an ecologically sustainable city.

Too often these ideas are presented in an abstract way, as a set of values, and it is hard to get a sense of the real struggles that need to take place.”

--Lisa Greber, editor, Science for the People “An outstanding synthesis of ecological planning. Glover is one of the few professionals in California stimulating competent design for our post-automotive society.”

--John Diamante, Threshold Foundation “We need more people pulling the pieces together like this.”

--Richard Register, author of EcoCities “An ingenious approach. More power to his pen.”

--Ernest Callenbach, author of Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging “A great example of images of the future.”

--Glen Hiemstra, Futurist.com, author of Turning the Future into Revenue “Damn good. Now it’s time to build it.” --Richard Britz, author of The Edible City “One of our best bioregional writers.” --Kirkpatrick Sale, author of Human Scale, Dwellers in the Land: The Bioregional Vision, The Green Revolution, Rebels Against the Future, The Conquest of Paradise, Power Shift, and SDS “A powerful critique.” --Carl Boggs, author of Social Movements and Political Power “Quite inspiring.” --Lois Arkin, founder, Los Angles Ecovillage “Excellent.” --Christopher Swann, Suntrain Company “Brilliant.” --David Fleming, Green Party of England and Wales “Citizen Planners is a burgeoning urban design group whose aim is to restore the City of Angels to a condition more befitting its name.” --Los Angeles Times 11/25/83
