“As much as these programs are centered on exposing youth to planning principles, they’ve also been useful in getting planners and planning departments out of their comfort zone to see their communities from a different perspective.”
“Young people make passionate leaders who can provide an otherwise-unheard perspective; who can contribute to intentionally building stronger communities; and who can be advocates for and to their peers, parents, and neighbors.”
“Planning has always been about enhancing the quality of life and creating a better future for the next generation, yet too often members of that generation are absent from the conversation.”
“Ask students what they want, and often their creativity will reveal thinking that isn’t burdened down by the constraints of what is possible or easy to achieve.”
