Westside Improvement Competitors

Healthy Neighborhoods collaborates with partners to drive investment and strengthen engaged communities in Baltimore City’s middle neighborhoods.

The Urban Greenspaces Institute works to create great cities, cities where the built and natural environments are interwoven, not set apart. We promote the integration of urban green infrastructure — parks, trails, streams and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, urban forest canopy, and greenspaces — with the built environment. We work to ensure our region responds to Climate Change, both in mitigation and adaptation. Our motto, 'In Livable Cities is Preservation of the Wild', reflects our philosophy that well-designed, nature-rich cities are beautiful, equitable, compact, and ecologically sustainable places to live, thereby reducing urban sprawl across the rural landscape.
