Investing in Equitable Urban Park Systems: Case Studies & Recommendations by City Parks Alliance
City parks provide access to recreational opportunities, increase property values, spur local economies, improve safety, and mitigate stormwater runoff and other environmental threats. With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, City Parks Alliance is leading a national initiative to research, collect, and disseminate innovative strategies and models for funding parks and green infrastructure in low-income communities. The Alliance’s “Investing in Equitable Urban Park Systems” report spotlights seven communities that are leading the way in using data-driven approaches to ensure more equitable distribution of funding.
