Sheffield partners with 'Teen Takeover' group to find spaces for youth

Detroit's Mayor Mary Sheffield is launching an innovative initiative with local youth activists through the 'Teen Takeover' program to identify and develop recreational spaces tailored to young residents' needs. This collaborative effort bridges the gap between city administration and the teen community, ensuring that youth have meaningful input in urban planning decisions. By partnering with dozens of young Detroiters, the initiative aims to transform underutilized spaces into vibrant community hubs that reflect the interests and aspirations of the city's next generation.
