Planning in Action: URP Students at MSU Partner with Michigan Communities to Shape Real-World Solutions

Each spring, students in Michigan State University’s Urban and Regional Planning Practicum step beyond the classroom and into the communities they aim to serve. This practicum experience brings together undergraduate and graduate students to work directly with city partners on pressing planning challenges, producing not hypothetical ideas, but actionable strategies grounded in real conditions, real data, and real relationships.
