Policy Implementation for Richmond General Plan
REDI developed a series of policy recommendations and implementation measures in the areas of land use, housing, transportation, economic development and health. The goal of these policies is to discourage displacement, segregation and gentrification practices that have occurred in cities that are undergoing similar change. When implemented, these policies can provide community benefits for all residents, specifically low-income communities and communities of color. REDI’s policies were developed with technical assistance from Public Advocates, the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE), Urban Habitat, Partnership for Working Families, and Human Impact Partners. All policies were carefully reviewed and prioritized by community members and edited by the technical assistance partners.
REDI submitted this document to the Richmond City Council, Planning Department, and the consulting firm, MIG for review and consultation in their development of implementation measures for the General Plan.
The executive summary provides a snapshot of REDI’s larger proposals that we believe can guide the City toward a path of greater equity and sustainability.
