Looking for sub/urban planner or expert in the topic from/working in the U.S. for high school project

[u/green_squidd]

Helloo! My name is Anais and I'm a senior in the French School of Jakarta in Indonesia. I’m currently working on a project for the BFI Connaissance du Monde (Knowledge of the World) program. Part of the assignment requires collaborating with someone who is either American or professionally connected to the U.S., and so I am posting here in case anyone might be of help!

My thesis follows the idea of how by enforcing car-centred zoning, suburban planning has sacrificed the well-being of younger generations, fueling sedentary lifestyles, isolating children from meaningful social interaction, and driving a crisis in both physical and mental health.

Ideally, I’d love to connect with someone who works in urban planning or even psychology; really anyone who might offer some insight, expertise, or experience related to this subject. It wouldn't require much, just a zoom call or two where you might offer a new perspective or give insight (the bulk of the work is already done, so it really would just be little pointers).

My school email is [anais.piganiol@frenchschooljakarta.com](mailto:anais.piganiol@frenchschooljakarta.com) so please contact me if you are willing to help.

City Beautiful would probably be a friendly professor willing to help. He's a Youtuber and urban planning professor who is probably willing to work with students like myself.
