This fall 2023 special series of reports dives into how Richmond's neighborhoods promote — or hinder — residents' well-being.
In Part 1, we explore Richmond's public transportation, repairing its divided communities, Southside's economic development and challenges for Black business owners.
Healthy City was written by VPM News and VPM News Focal Point. It was edited by Whittney Evans and Connor Scribner.
Shaban Athuman did the series and drone photography. Additional editing was done by Dave Cantor, Meghin Moore, Megan Pauly and Dawnthea M. Price Lisco.
