  • Summary

  • Carol Schatz joins the podcast to talk about all things downtown Los Angeles.  When Carol took the helm of Central City Association (CCA), downtown Los Angeles was full of half-empty office buildings; a place where people came to work Monday through Friday 9am-5pm and then left. Occasionally, Angelenos may have traveled downtown to go to the theater or a Dodger game, but it was not a place people went, or stayed for very long. Under Carol’s steady and steadfast leadership, downtown Los Angeles transformed into a vibrant city that GQ Magazine once called “America’s Next Great City.” Carol was one of the principal leaders driving this transformation who articulated a vision of a 24/7 neighborhood in America’s second largest city, and then pushed policies and projects that made it a reality. This work earned her the title, “queen of downtown Los Angeles” and to honor her work the City of Los Angeles christened the intersection of Hope Street and Wilshire Blvd. “Carol Schatz Square."
