Los Angeles, it has been said, is where the future happens first.
L.A. is a cultural crossroads like no other, a meeting ground of north and south, east and west, the past and the present. It is the first and largest “majority-minority” city in the United States: the Hispanic or Latino/a community numbers 47% of the L.A. county population, while Caucasians are 29%. L.A. has the nation’s fastest-growing Asian-Pacific Islanders community. The region is one of the country’s youngest, too: 28% of L.A. county’s 10 million residents are under 18 and 36% were born outside the U.S.
The Los Angeles region is a leader in technology, entertainment and innovative responses to environmental issues.
And it is a city where many of the conventional borders between people, nations and even ways of thinking have disappeared.
