What our friends say about working with City 2.0:

Involve them now. We are designing their cities. --100RC, Rebuild x Design

They are not yet trained to think inside the box. --ARUP

They still think anything is possible, so they don't think in limited ways.--Arcadis

Involving young people is the best way to create global networks of youth stakeholder participation. --100RC

They can help us deal with all kinds of challenges, from community visioning to design to the smooth function of the community itself. --Town of Scarsdale

If we don't reach out, how will young people know that this is the most relevant, most multi-disciplinary, career path? --Yale "Green" Alumni (YBG)

I wish I had had a class like this in high school. You guys are our catalyst. --Michael Allen, HRJG

The world needs more citizens who have these skills and mindsets.

"I hope the future City 2.0 class becomes so influential that outside groups would be the ones who say, “I want to work with you-can we work together?” " -Mao, '17
