Gehry in downtown LA

^ Moreover, LA couldn't develop a traditional downtown with skyscrapers like Toronto because of earthquakes. This forced development in "edge cities" in the Los Angeles Basin. As technology improved to allow earthquake-resistant skyscrapers, there was renewed interest in developing a downtown comparable to other big cities.
