UrbanPlan
The Mission
"To Create a more 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."
Who
Created Urban Plan?
UrbanPlan
is based on a program originally created by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), and implemented by ULI District Councils in
many cities including Los Angles, San Francisco, New
York, Orlando, and of course, Sacramento among others.
The current version was developed at The Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics at the University of California, Berkeley in collaboration with ULI, and a team of high school economics and government teachers. This collaboration insured the reality of the land use problem plus the academic credibility and standards-based content demanded by educators.
