Idea about how to make LA a better place to live, submitted by this organization in the 2015 challenge.
Make LA the best place to LIVE
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region’s residents have the economic means and cultural capital to lead active, healthy lives, and everyone benefits from a sustainable environment.
In 2050, Los Angeles will have the nation’s lowest obesity rates and every neighborhood will have access to healthy, affordable food. Every family will be able to afford quality health care and housing. And no families will face environmental health hazards because of where they live or how much money they make.
Cool Blocks LA
The “Cool Blocks LA” program will build planet-friendly, disaster resilient, socially connected neighborhoods in LA, block by block. By the end of the Cool Blocks LA pilot year, at least 10 neighborhood block teams across three Los Angeles communities will complete the program. In the process, these teams will reduce both their carbon and water footprints by an average of 25% while getting to know their neighbors and building their personal and shared resiliency. Learn more
