Abstract
ABSTRACT The demolition of the Sixth-Street Bridge in Los Angeles, and its subsequent replacement is an illuminating case study that shows interconnections between media, space, mobility, and gentrification. By viewing the bridge through the concept of space-as-media, I argue that the strategic changes made to the Sixth-Street Bridge need to be understood as the installation of a medium of gentrification, altering urban space to fortify particular mobility through the city. The new bridge, as a medium, effectively transforms the meaning of the urban space it inhabits and alters its meaning for a future Los Angeles.
