Vision

Walkable, green neighborhoods with equitable access to better health, mobility, and opportunity.

Founded in 1994, LANI has helped revitalize more than 50 low and mixed-income neighborhoods throughout the Los Angeles region. We work with communities to plan and implement projects like new parks and open spaces, business corridor improvements, street tree plantings and sidewalk repairs, public art and placemaking, and transportation enhancements like crosswalks, bike lanes, lighting, bus shelters, and transit plazas.
