Underdeveloped neighborhoods of color have neighborhood-level social determinants that produce adverse health outcomes among blacks and other people of color. This workshop explores the root causes of neighborhood underdevelopment and identifies those factors that enable neighborhoods to produce mental, physical, and social well-being. We will identify key features, such as food and housing security, equitable economic opportunities, and decentralized healthcare services that contribute to healthier communities. Through this panel discussion, participants will learn strategies for transforming underdeveloped neighborhoods into healthy, thriving, prosperous, and joyful communities.
