The City Project is a public policy organization based in Los Angeles, California, focused on advancing health, equity, and livability through community-informed planning and advocacy. Its multicultural, Latino-led team works with diverse partners to promote access to healthy green land use, schools and physical education, health equity and wellness, and economic vitality that includes good jobs while guarding against displacement as communities become greener and more desirable. The organization employs a range of strategies common to civil rights and environmental justice work—planning, data collection and analysis, media, negotiation, policy advocacy, and coalition building—to remove structural barriers and foster equitable development. Its efforts are directed at aligning smart growth with equitable development, ecosystem services, and compliance with civil rights and environmental justice policies and laws, aiming to create inclusive, democratic, and livable communities in the broader region. The City Project operates from its location in downtown Los Angeles, pursuing a mission centered on equal justice and democracy for all, with a focus on partnership-driven reform in public policy.
