The Fall 2022 Urban Studies and Planning Studio at the University of Maryland, College Park is conducting research on the Lakeland Community in College Park. With the theme of restorative justice at the core, this semester’s URSP708 Community Planning Studio is working in collaboration with the residents of Lakeland and the City of College Park to develop scenarios for the future of Lakeland. 

Our Planning Studio’s focus is on conducting a site analysis of the area, housing, including transportation, economic and community development, and sustainability. As part of our research, we are also looking at case studies, plans and policies for similar areas such as Lakeland. Also, we are meeting with the stakeholders of Lakeland to determine how they envision the area and the type of improvements that they feel will be beneficial to their overall quality of life. 

Finally, we are organizing a community event to take place at the College Park Community Center in Lakeland to discuss our findings and receive feedback.

You're all invited to 'Restorative Justice for Lakeland Workshop', Thursday, October 13, 2022 from 7PM - 9PM that will take place at the College Park Community Center. Light refreshments will be served.
