By offering a fully designed program, there is very little "leg work" required from the planners before engaging with the schools; this makes the partnership extremely easy to offer and implement. Besides providing important insights for planners, this program can also help to engage traditionally disenfranchised communities; it shows students how their city impacts their lifestyles, and how they can impact their city as agents of change.
