The Center for Community Planning partnered with the City of Newark Department of Sustainability, the Newark Summer Youth Employment Program, and New Jersey Community Capital to employ 20 Newark High School students to do real city planning work in real time with real city planners in the field. Students surveyed just under 2,000 individual parcels in Newark's West Ward, providing valuable infomration to the City's efforts to rehabilitate delapitated properties in negihborhoods. The students also spoke to community residents and received city planning training in order to create a full scale redevelopment proposal for a student centered corridor on South Orange Avenue that would include a recreation center, a sustainable garden, a farm to table cafe, and a students center.
