The 2024 conference theme is Thrive: Planning The Year-Round City, which represents a dialogue between youth and city builders about how indoor and outdoor public spaces might bring joy, wellbeing and happiness to everyone, all year round. We will explore how to design and plan for improving the collective wellbeing of residents, young and old.

This conference is for high school students aspiring to become city builders and community changemakers. If you're curious about urban planning and architecture, art and design, engineering and technology, and community development, or just want to get more involved outside of school, you're in the right place!
