Task Force Seeks Equitable Development in Sacramento through Strong Community Engagement

A ULI Sacramento task force is working to strengthen community engagement in an underserved, underinvested part of the city with the goal of advancing development that promotes health and social equity. The Health and Equity Task Force, which began work in 2019, has for the past 18 months evaluated health and disparity issues in the Meadowview neighborhood of South Sacramento with an emphasis on lifting it up through community-led land use and transportation improvements.

The legacy of inequitable land use and transportation decisions has contributed to rising health are economic disparities in Meadowview, a South Sacramento neighborhood. Empowering Community, the ULI Sacramento Health and Social Equity Task Force report documents the culturally inclusive conversations that led to the development of a community toolkit that empowers residents to engage in neighborhood decision-making by providing guidance on a range of issues, including project funding, budgeting, site activation, and development approvals.
