Penned by Deborah McKoy, Amanda Eppley and Shirl Buss at the Center for Cities and Schools – University of California Berkeley, this book discussion offers an urgently needed set of best-practice recommendations for urban planners to change the status quo and re-imagine the future of our cities for and with young people. Working with more than 10,000 students over two decades from the San Francisco Bay Area to New York to Tohoku, Japan, this work produces a wealth of insights on issues such as environmental planning, housing, transportation, regional planning, and urban planning education.
For academics, policy makers, and practitioners, this book raises the importance of education systems and young people as critical to urban planning and the future of our cities.
