Across Europe, cities are evolving rapidly but youth voices remain underrepresented in shaping their future. As urbanization accelerates, challenges such as social inequality, environmental degradation, and weak governance call for inclusive and innovative solutions.
Despite their creativity and stake in the future, young people are often excluded from formal urban planning and decision-making. This disconnect limits the potential for cities to grow in ways that reflect the real needs and experiences of younger generations.
Y-PLAN is an Erasmus+ project (Sep 25-Aug 27) that aims to empower youth as active agents in urban planning by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and tools to meaningfully participate in decision-making processes shaping their communities in Cyprus, Greece, Serbia, and Belgium.
