View of downtown Los Angeles at sunset from an elevated position in East Los Angeles. The sky is bright with deep orange and red tones. On the left, Los Angeles City Hall stands out with a white-lit top. Other tall buildings appear in the distance with some windows illuminated. In the foreground, the tops of palm trees partially block the lower parts of the buildings, indicating the viewpoint is from a hillside looking toward the city.

ABOUT CCA

SHAPING LA

The Central City Association of Los Angeles (CCA) is shaping the future of one of the world's most influential regions. Founded in 1924, CCA has spent more than a century helping Los Angeles grow, adapt, and compete. While our roots are in Downtown Los Angeles, our reach — and our responsibility — extends far beyond any single neighborhood. Today, we focus on the economic centers and main streets that connect Los Angeles' 99 neighborhoods and the 87 other cities across LA County. Because when Los Angeles works at its core, it works everywhere.
Nighttime scene in an outdoor courtyard at Walt Disney Concert Hall. A group of people with varied appearances—different ages, skin tones, and styles of dress—are gathered together wearing casual clothing. They are dancing in a modern, expressive way, with arms and bodies moving freely rather than in a set pattern. Behind them, the curved metal exterior of the concert hall is lit from below, casting soft, bright light upward and creating a glowing backdrop. The dancers are spread across the open space, and the lighting highlights their movement against the darker night sky.
