Los Angeles leans more concrete jungle than tropical oasis, but the newest renderings for the recently-approved One Beverly Hills condo and hotel project suggest otherwise.

An initial study prepared by the City of Beverly Hills sheds new light on the proposed One Beverly Hills project.

The Foster + Partners-designed project would introduce a pair of 28- and 32-story condominium towers, a 10-story hotel, and eight acres of public and private gardens.

As amusement park and fair season comes to an end, we take an eerie look at some of the world's permanently abandoned theme parks.
