P1010 Urban Plan Academy for Community Leaders

Urban Plan Academy for Community Leaders is a one-day course offered in partnership with the Urban Land Institute of Atlanta. The course is designed to help neighborhood leaders navigate the complexities of advocating for community priorities when presented with development plans. With a focus on the trade-offs and risks involved in the entitlement and negotiation process and related to land use, the course enhances the student's understanding of the fundamental forces that affect development. Through a project-based approach, students will engage in a scenario involving a city-led redevelopment effort -- honing their negotiation skills with the fictional city's elected officials, neighborhood, the development team, and the community.
