NEW SPACE DOES MORE THAN CIVIC DUTY

摘要

The Long Beach Civic Center in Long Beach, Calif., spans more than 22 acres across six city blocks, with four connected buildings. While the giant complex includes a new city hall building and Port of Long Beach headquarters, its developers hope an upgrade of public spaces such as the 93,500-sq-ft Billie Jean King main library, reactivation of adjacent historic Lincoln Park and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure will draw residents and visitors to downtown.
