Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the question of whether there is a Los Angeles identity and offers recommendations for capacity building in this culturally intermixed megalopolis from the vantage point of roles of local individuals, citizen associations and neighborhood initiatives and institutions. Community development in greater Los Angeles is described as occurring within a context of conflict, change, and power-characteristics found in all American cities. The paper concludes by recommending that the people of Los Angeles need to look toward themselves for sustenance and simultaneously collaborate with caregivers and community builders. Both formal high tech approaches and informal social capital generating acts are necessary for capacity building and community development in Los Angeles.
