Regional Comprehensive Plan: Helping Communities Achieve a Sustainable Future

Image: RCP LogoThe Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) will present a vision of how Southern California can balance resource conservation, economic vitality, and quality of life. It will serve as a blueprint to approach growth and infrastructure challenges in an integrated and comprehensive way. Ultimately, the RCP will be an action plan that will spell out measurable objectives and targets to measure our progress toward meeting ambitious goals for a sustainable region. It is designed to help identify the best policies and practices that can get us the "biggest bang for our buck."

This plan is taking shape with input from task forces and working groups comprised of elected officials, city planners, academics, business leaders, scientific experts, environmentalists, community representatives and other stakeholders. Its publication will be the result of three years of collaborative efforts.

The RCP will feature nine chapters; each based on a specific area of planning or resource management. A finance strategy will accompany each chapter, identifying funding opportunities.
