In December 2020, the Prince George’s County Planning Department developed an exploratory team to research and design a Neighborhood Planning Academy for Prince George’s County. Neighborhood Planning Academies are increasingly becoming a pillar of equitable community engagement practice and support civic education. From February to April 2021, the exploratory team conducted in-depth research pertaining to existing stakeholder knowledge about Urban Planning and local government and performed a comprehensive review of the Department’s civic educational activities. This document is a summary of the team’s key findings. This study also provides a recommendation for the program design of a Neighborhood Planning Academy for Prince George’s County.
