Schematic plan of Los Angeles downtown, ca. 1965

The text above the grid reads "Two-thirds of Downtown Los Angeles...is devoted to freeways, streets, and off-street parking" Text on the back states that areas in black represent car needs in central Los Angeles, such as streets, parking lots, or garages, and that two thirds of the land in the central Los Angeles will have to be devoted to these needs. Because of a large population and a small amount of land, the text notes that the central area "cannot fulfill the urban functions of a metropolis of 6,000,000 inhabitants."
