Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Water Commissioners of the Domestic Water Works System of the City of Los Angeles: For the Fiscal Year Ending November 30, 1902 With the approach of winter and the consequent decrease in the demand for water, we shall manage to get along for the next six months without in convenience to the inhabitants of districts that feel the effects of an inadequate pipe capacity, and it is expected that with the completion of the work now laid out and provided for in the recent contracts let, the work of fortifying the system with large mains will have progressed so far by next summer as to provide an ample supply even in the remotest districts. With this accomplished, our successors can turn their attention to the carrying out of some of the recommendations of the recently submitted plans for the comprehensive improvement of the works, especially that of the con struction of the Main Supply Conduit and Ivanhoe Storage Reservoir.

For the first time, Anton Wagner’s groundbreaking 1935 book that launched the study of Los Angeles as an urban metropolis is available in English. No book on the emergence of Los Angeles, today a metropolis of more than four million people, has been more influential or elusive than this volume by Anton Wagner. Originally published in German in 1935 as Los Angeles: Werden, Leben und Gestalt der Zweimillionenstadt in Südkalifornien, it is one of the earliest geographical investigations of a city understood as a series of layered landscapes. Wagner demonstrated that despite its geographical disadvantages, Los Angeles grew rapidly into a dominant urban region, bolstered by agriculture, real estate development, transportation infrastructure, tourism, the oil and automobile industries, and the film business. Although widely reviewed upon its initial publication, his book was largely forgotten until reintroduced by architectural historian Reyner Banham in his 1971 classic Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies. This definitive translation is annotated by Edward Dimendberg and preceded by his substantial introduction, which traces Wagner's biography and intellectual formation in 1930s Germany and contextualizes his work among that of other geographers. It is an essential work for students, scholars, and curious readers interested in urban geography and the rise of Los Angeles as a global metropolis.
