Overview
The Trust for Public Land’s Climate-Smart Cities Program is helping cities develop multi-benefit green infrastructure in underserved neighborhoods to reduce carbon emissions, promote resilience, and advance climate justice.
Project Description
The Trust’s work focuses on four green infrastructure objectives proven to reduce carbon emissions and promote resilience:
-
Connect: “Hyper-connect” walk-bike corridors and public transit at the city and regional scales to maximize potential mode shift toward carbon-free and resilient transportation options.
-
Cool: Utilize specially designed urban greenspaces, high albedo surfaces, and strategically sited shade trees to lessen the energy use and human health impacts resulting from the urban heat island effect.
-
Absorb: Use science-based deployment of wetlands, “water smart” parks and playgrounds, green alleys, and other permeable surfaces to recharge local aquifers, curb stormwater runoff pollution and localized flooding, and reduce energy used for water treatment and conveyance of public water supplies.
- Protect: Create integrated networks of strategically sited waterfront parks and living shorelines, such as wetlands, to buffer cities from sea level rise and storm surge, river-borne flooding, and other related inundation threats.
While each objective is robust in isolation, the Trust is focused on helping cities develop green infrastructure networks that “stack” these four outcomes at the project, neighborhood, and city levels. Tools like Climate-Smart Cities GIS analysis can help city leaders identify specific neighborhoods and parcels of land where they have the strongest opportunities to pursue this multiple-benefit greening approach.
Position Description
The Climate-Smart Cities program is in need of assistance to help identify opportunities to site and fund multiple-benefit green infrastructure targeted to the most vulnerable populations in Los Angeles. The intern will work with staff in the Climate-Smart Cities program and Los Angeles office to use the Climate-Smart Cities decision support tool for analysis of high priority neighborhoods and properties. In addition to conducting this spatial analysis with the tool and generating reports on potential sites, the intern will conduct research to identify potential funding sources for project development in those locations.
Compensation
A Bill Lane Center stipend will be provided to offset living expenses.

-
Connect: “Hyper-connect” walk-bike corridors and public transit at the city and regional scales to maximize potential mode shift toward carbon-free and resilient transportation options.
-
Cool: Utilize specially designed urban greenspaces, high albedo surfaces, and strategically sited shade trees to lessen the energy use and human health impacts resulting from the urban heat island effect.
-
Absorb: Use science-based deployment of wetlands, “water smart” parks and playgrounds, green alleys, and other permeable surfaces to recharge local aquifers, curb stormwater runoff pollution and localized flooding, and reduce energy used for water treatment and conveyance of public water supplies.
- Protect: Create integrated networks of strategically sited waterfront parks and living shorelines, such as wetlands, to buffer cities from sea level rise and storm surge, river-borne flooding, and other related inundation threats.
While each objective is robust in isolation, the Trust is focused on helping cities develop green infrastructure networks that “stack” these four outcomes at the project, neighborhood, and city levels. Tools like Climate-Smart Cities GIS analysis can help city leaders identify specific neighborhoods and parcels of land where they have the strongest opportunities to pursue this multiple-benefit greening approach.
