Advancing Park Equity: Local Solutions, National Impact

Zusammenfassung des Berichts: The Cohort for Park Equity (CPE) was a network of ULI district councils, member experts, and community partners in five cities working together to identify strategies—and take action—to advance equitable access to parks, trails, and open space. CPE provided on-the-ground technical assistance that leveraged ULI member expertise to advise on complex real estate, land use, and policy challenges related to park and trail access, maintenance, and development. Over the course of the 12-month program, from May 2022 to May 2023, the Institute convened the cohort regularly to learn from national best practices and discuss peer cities’ next steps advancing equity in their communities. The five participating district councils included ULI Austin, ULI Charlotte, ULI Dallas-Fort Worth, ULI New York, and ULI San Antonio.
