America’s $25 Billion River Makeover Project: Turning Concrete To Parks!

This is how America Is turning its Concrete Rivers To Urban Green Spaces in Los Angeles. The LA River is a massive concrete embankment and floor which acts as a drainage system. Ever since its construction, the embankments have over time caused intensive damage both socially and environmentally. To rectify the mistake made, an initiative was taken to revitalize the LA River by transforming it into a natural urban habitat. This project is a massive undertaking costing $25 Billion, and would take nearly 50 years to complete.
