Book Description
There is untapped potential in alleys. While alleys are common elements of dense urban environments, they are often neglected and underutilized spaces. They have been utilized for many purposes throughout history, including housing, waste, and access. Many uses remain today, yet alleys are often associated with unsightly and unsafe activities. Cities are now revisiting alleys as opportunities for providing multiple benefits to urban residents. A distinct and promising effort in alley revitalization efforts is the development of green alleys. Green alleys expand upon the single-purpose infrastructure of alleys and convert underutilized alleyways into community assets and resources for environmental, economic and social benefits. By converting underutilized alleys into green alleys, the space can be used for any combination of community gathering, recreation, walking and cycling, stormwater management, retail and entertainment activities, public and community art, and municipal services. Cities across the U.S. are partaking in the movement to develop green alleys, including Los Angeles. Most recently, the Avalon Green Alley Network Demonstration Project in South Los Angeles, a pilot project led by The Trust for Public Land in partnership with the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation (LA Sanitation), is demonstrating the process of transforming underutilized alleys into multi-purpose spaces with a range of benefits, including stormwater capture and infiltration, recreation and green space, and pedestrian passageways. While there have been several green alley efforts in Los Angeles, the City is beginning to standardize the process to support the wide implementation of green alleys citywide. A standardized process can aid in replicating green alley efforts, like the Avalon Project, so that the 900 linear miles of alleys in the city of Los Angeles can be transformed into green alleys. The goal of this research is to support a standardized process and assist an interdepartmental conversation related to coordinated, city-driven green alley efforts in the City of Los Angeles and other cities across the U.S. Through a review of academic literature and planning documents surrounding green alleys that discuss best practices, case studies, and research findings, interviews with personnel from City of Los Angeles agencies and case studies of four green alley models with various objectives, key findings and recommendations for the City of Los Angeles emerged.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Green Alleys: A Comedy In Southern Kent are far-flung plains of the Weald that tend to seaward. On a summer day they were basking under July sunshine, while their grass-lands stretched for miles under dancing heat and a thousand mowers purred in tho heart of them. The russet of the ripe meadows and the silver of tho mown hay were broken by green of many hop-gardens, whose foliage reflected the light, so that the hops, heavy and dark under grey skies, were now full of a joyous radiance. Across the great plain swept also woodlands, that belted in the middle distance, with irregular passages of summer oak and elm, bossy and massive. Ridge upon ridge the trees retreated gradually until they and the pastures and tilth between were reduced and huddled together by distance, and their patterns obscured in the milky azure of summer air. No salient features marked the horizon. Level as the sea, and pure as an opal to the sky edge it sank away, shot with delicate shadow of forests, broken only by spire or tower, by the cowls of hop-oasts, or the head of a windmill, sweeping its wide pinions against the blue. Here, in this tender distance of many colours, was contrast for the splendour of the meadows and spinneys, the cattle and snowy, new-shorn sheep of every foreground. It is a pastoral land, simple and impressive - a land of old custom and old habitations. In dignity of line and colour, depending not at all on size for their distinction, the farmsteads and hamlets stand.
