Notes
  • The primate city is Los Angeles, but the overall pattern is polynuclear. There are five distinct metropolitan sub-systems in addition to Los Angeles-Long Beach; namely, Santa Barbara, Oxnard- Ventura, Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove, San Bernardino-Riverside-Ontario, and San Diego. All are related within the structure of the regional economy and all lie within the sphere of influence of Los Angeles but, at the same time, each is separate and dominates its own cluster of lesser cities. This report considers: (l) how, and some of the reasons why, the urban landscape presently existing in Southern California has evolved; (2) recent spatial trends contributing to the form and structure of Greater Los Angeles; and (3) some broader implications of this example of urban development.
