Insisted that health equity be taken into account in land use investments

The HEALU Network, which Prevention Institute facilitates, presented a four-part “innovation summit” series in Los Angeles exploring how to ensure health equity and racial justice through mandated investments in public infrastructure like parks, transit, roads, and water systems. Through the series, over 450 participants shared what they’ve learned—and grappled with—while trying to establish policies that make sure infrastructure investments help close gaps in health, safety, and opportunity rather than perpetuating inequities. * Image: PI staff and board members with Kevin de León, President pro Tempore Emeritus of the California State Senate. ** This work was supported by the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and The California Endowment.
