Today’s youth are rarely invited into the city planning process. This paper examines the experiences of young people involved in Y-PLAN, an initiative focused on fostering relationships between civic leaders and young people around meaningful action in order to create resilient cities that work for all residents. It also examines the importance of students’ lived experience and their proposals for how to respond to climate change and enhance resiliency in their communities. This paper concludes that the involvement of young people can lead to the adoption of innovative, inclusive, and equitable approaches to city planning.
