Mike Lanza's work focuses on determining how to create
neighborhoods that allow children to interact better with their peers near
their homes, and to play together outside with less adult supervision.
At the workshop, residents will work with their neighbors and City
policy-makers to determine what we can do as a community to help children lead
connected, play-filled lives.
