Welcome!
This event is designed to spark a regional conversation and action to ensure that SB1000--the Healthy Communities Act-- delivers the promise of improving quality of life and better health outcomes in the most vulnerable communities in all Southern California Cities and beyond. SB1000 is the best legislative opportunity for urban and regional planners to collaborate with public health professionals, community based organizations, health coalitions, educational institutions, elected and appointed officials and others, to maximize the capacity of planning departments. Collectively, we can craft and implement realistic policies and programs designed to alleviate and prevent the burdens of environmental injustices in our neighborhoods.
|
Southern California leaders—from the public, private and non-profit sectors representing urban and regional planning, public health and advocacy fields—will come together to discuss how to effectively implement environmental justice into General Plans as required per SB1000 "The Healthy Communities Act." This event is organized under the auspices of the American Planning Association Inland Empire Section and the Riverside University Health System-Public Health.
