Editorial: A Healthy Living Map: Sacramento Bee, November 2007. Thanks to a project of computerized mapping, Sacramento-area residents can go to the Web and see how their neighborhood stacks up in measurements of health and access to medical care.
Nick Bollman, Regionalist: Sacramento Bee. At its most basic, California is a collection of fiefdoms. These include 58 counties and more than 470 cities, 1,000 school districts and 4,800 special districts. For nearly two decades, one person led the effort in California to venture beyond these narrow fiefdoms and pursue regional solutions to problems such as traffic congestion, affordable housing and loss of open space.
Online profile of area's health released: Sacramento Bee, October 2007. Public health workers and community groups have a new tool for extracting critical information about area communities: An online health mapping program launched today that pinpoints, by ZIP code, hospitals and clinics and tracks rates of health threats such as asthma or childhood obesity.
Sacramento's land-use planning gets high marks: Sacramento Biz Journal, Sept. 2007. The Sacramento region is highlighted as a model for land-use planning and civic engagement in a new study on climate change... The report cites the Blueprint transportation-land use study as a leading example of the type of "scenario planning techniques," which match alternative land-use plans with alternative transportation plans. The Blueprint is offered as a tool for local governments in reducing carbon emissions.
Wanted: A way to nourish the arts: Sacramento Bee, Sept. 2007. With the notion that places hailed for their quality of life are good places to do business, Sacramento-area leaders are assessing how to indirectly spur job growth by building up sports, arts and cultural amenities. Experts in keeping and growing jobs say most executives factor a region's perceived quality into relocation decisions. Young, mobile professionals, too, often choose first where they want to live, then where to land work.

civic amenities – parks, museums, performing-arts venues, sports and entertainment venues, cultural facilities and the like – as robust as possible."
