UI sits on the ULI Building Healthy Places Committee Los Angeles. The work done on the ULI LA Building Healthy Places Committee in Los Angeles will help serve as national ULI framework for other chapters to adopt Nationwide. The City of Los Angeles has been offered the opportunity to further leverage technical assistance by hosting a ULI National Study Visit on November 13-15, 2019. This 2.5-day visit will bring together national and local ULI members as well as other local experts to develop recommendations for increasing parks and open spaces in priority park deficient areas of the city while also contributing to the formation of the process and strategy for the creation of a linked public spaces. A set of study questions, developed by the City of Los Angeles and ULI, will guide the scope of topics examined during this visit.
About the Campaign
The Urban Land Institute (ULI), in partnership with The Trust for Public Land (TPL) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), are leading the 10-Minute Walk Campaign (Campaign) — a national movement working to ensure that everyone has access to a high-quality park within a ten-minute walk of home. Campaign partners are working with cities throughout the country to advance their goals and commitments around improving equitable access to high-quality parks.
The City of Los Angeles, California is one of ten cities that has received a planning and technical assistance grant from the NRPA to support the creation of a measurable action plan that will accomplish the City’s 10-minute walk goals. While 55% of Los Angeles residents currently live within a 10-minute walk of a park, the City and community partners are working to erase disparities in historically underserved parts of the city while creating new park spaces that keep pace with current development and population growth.
