The city of Lansing is looking to MSU landscape architecture students for input for its 2025 Master Plan.
MSUs Landscape Architecture Program will feature student visions of Lansing at noon today in International Center Spartan Rooms B and C.
The exhibit was planned by Sissi Foster, assistant professor of geography and volunteer on the Lansing Planning Board. She said this will be the first time her students have done such a large project for Lansing.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a student-community-type involvement, and here in landscape architecture, we do that all the time, she said. Its not that different from their others projects. Its a wonderful opportunity for the students to help the city and vice versa.
Lansing Planning and Neighborhood Development Department planner Bill Rieske said he looks forward to seeing the students designs.
We can use this information they are developing and the vision they are developing in a way that will stimulate discussion for Lansing residents, he said. We can do that by incorporating it into the planning process.
