This booklet addresses the challenges facing post-war Los Angeles of long-term community building. Bemis argues that the city needs to devise new administrative machinery to tie together major construction programs that involve state, Federal and local interests. The paper is divided into three sections. The first sections describes the major intergovernmental programs of public works currently being worked on. The second section describes the various attempts in the past to establish inter-agency coordination of wartime construction programs. Bemis then considers the applicability of the war-time coordination experience with present public works under consideration. The third section proposes the creation of a permanent intergovernmental public works board for the Los Angeles Area. The major public works addressed in the paper include: Highways and Freeways, Airports, Ports and Harbors, Regional Parks and Recreational Facilities, Flood Control and Water Conservation, Sewage Disposal and Water Pollution Abatement. An interesting look at war and post war governmental coordination in Los Angeles.
