Bringing UrbanPlan into Social Studies Classes: A Powerful Learning Experience

In a recent video feature, I had the privilege of sharing my experiences as an instructor with the Urban Land Institute's UrbanPlan program and as a planner advocating for its integration into social studies classes. The video, which offers valuable insights into the program, highlights the benefits of bringing UrbanPlan into the classroom. As an advocate for urban planning education, I firmly believe that UrbanPlan has the potential to revolutionize social studies education by equipping students with critical thinking skills, a deeper understanding of the built environment and the tools needed to become informed citizens in the communities.
