ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that in order to plan a city that works for Millennials, we must start by making a city that works for all generations. The market preferences of Millennials provide a powerful force in shaping the future of American cities and metropolitan areas. But these preferences must be leveraged to create not just playgrounds for affluent young folks, but a high quality of life for people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds. Planners must continue to think about how best to integrate greenspace, transportation, and housing into solutions that function well for all urban residents. Approaching all three subjects as interconnected can lead to far more holistic and effective outcomes in each venue.
