UrbanPlan in High Schools
High Schools: In the 15 class hours of the curriculum, students form development teams to respond to a “request for proposals” for the redevelopment of a blighted site in a fictional community. Learn more.
UrbanPlan’s mission is to create a sophisticated level of discourse among local stakeholders involved in land use decisions through the education of tomorrow’s voters, neighbors, community leaders, public officials, and land use professionals so—together—we can create better communities.
UrbanPlan is an engaging classroom-based curriculum in which participants – high school students, university students, public officials or community members – learn about the fundamental forces that affect real estate development in our communities.

Universities: UrbanPlan for Universities aims to develop land use professionals–developers, planners, architects, investors, and policy makers–who are more sophisticated and effective when they enter the workforce.

Communities: engages local residents and community leaders who would like to learn more about the challenging issues, roles, tradeoffs, and economic choices that shape our built environment, and the important roles citizens can play in land use decisions in their neighborhoods. Read more about our pilot communities program here.
Public Officials: enables public officials and community leaders to better understand the trade-offs and risk at play in the entitlement and negotiation process associated with land use. Read about our pilot public officials program here.
