Los Angeles Countywide Sustainability Plan

OurCounty is a regional sustainability plan for Los Angeles. Focusing on people, OurCounty outlines what local governments and stakeholders can do to enhance the well-being of every community in the County while reducing damage to the natural environment and adapting to the changing climate, particularly focusing on those communities that have been disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution.

While working at Buro Happold, Chris Rhie served as the project manager, overseeing stakeholder engagement, policy development, and messaging and communications. This included event planning and production for more than a dozen countywide workshops that engaged public, nonprofit, and for-profit stakeholders. OurCounty was the recipient of the American Planning Association’s 2021 Excellence in Sustainability Award in the Municipal, State, or Regional Plan category.
