Downtown.  This is how it is known to the majority of the populace that live, work or travel through the heart of Urban Los Angeles. Geographers, economists and sociologists call it the Central Busniess District (CBD). Below are images of the master maps for two renditions of Downtown projects being done by local Los Angeles universities.  The first one is from the Geography Department at California State University at Northridge.  The second is from the University of Southern California.  If you click on the individual maps, it will take you to their sites and projects.  Enjoy the journey.  Please feel free to send your comments and suggestions to the author at jchin@calstatela.edu.
