The author tackles this anomaly by breaking L.A. County into 58 different areas and tracking demographic and economic change between 1970 and 1990.  The analysis suggests that there are important differences in the ethnic and economic dynamics of various subregions.  As a result, "smart-growth" politics may have less salience in Los Angeles than would an alternative regionalism rooted in community-based movements and organizations. - Reproduced  aGeography  aDemography  aRegionalism  aUrban Affairs Review
