12/31/23 - VPM News presents: Healthy City, Part 2

This fall 2023 special series of reports dives into how Richmond's neighborhoods promote — or hinder — residents' well-being.

In Part 2, we explore the city's community spaces and gardens, the effects of rising property values on Black homeownership and how COVID-19 impacted mortality rates for pregnant people of color.

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.
