About UrbanPlan
UrbanPlan is a realistic, engaging, and academically demanding classroom-based programme in which students learn about the fundamental forces that affect urban regeneration.
An educational initiative developed by the Urban Land Institute, UrbanPlan has been running successfully in high schools in the US for over 15 years – reaching over 43,000 students and enabling more than 1,500 ULI members to share their experiences in land use. It brings the urban environment to life for young people through a series of interactive workshops and team working challenges.
Having been fully adapted, UrbanPlan is now running in schools in Europe with programmes currently running in the UK, Germany and Ireland. Successful pilots have also been delivered in the Netherlands and Poland.
UrbanPlan is an educational programme to help young people understand the role real estate plays in reviving and regenerating urban areas. It also:
