Building on years of collaborative work and cross-sector partnerships with government partners, residents, business owners, community-based organizations, schools, workers, and community leaders, our project reflects a unified vision and shared commitment to transform South LA into a prosperous climate-resilient community to live, work, and play.
The transformative plans and strategic projects proposed in the South LA Eco-Lab effort include strong, stable, and committed partners, including Community Partners, T.R.U.S.T South LA, LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, CicLAvia, Climate Resolve, Coalition for Responsible Community Development, GRID Alternatives, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, LA Neighborhood Land Trust, Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education, and TreePeople. Additionally, Mayor Karen Bass and multiple City of Los Angeles departments have provided support and guidance, including the departments of Transportation, Water and Power, StreetsLA, and Recreation and Parks.
These partners bring expertise around community engagement, displacement avoidance, workforce development, economic opportunities, urban greening, energy efficiency, transit access, and mobility projects that will help South Los Angeles blossom into a synergetic oasis for all.
