Large Scale Structure and Galaxy Evolution
Extensive observations at $z < 3$ have clearly demonstrated the
most significant role played by large scale structure environment in
speeding the formation of the first galaxies. I will describe these key data from the COSMOS survey showing both the evolution of large scale structures and
environmentally correlated galaxy evolution
and then review strategic opportunities for observing the first
galaxies with ALMA and JWST.
