Maximum City continues to develop impressive resources to support and engage youth to have an impact in the design and evolution of their neighbourhoods. Its flagship YouthScore and YouthScore are online surveys that let kids (12 and under) and youth (13 and up) explore and measure how kid-friendly or youth-friendly an urban area is. Its Street Design Challenge guides youth to learn about street design and to redesign residential and main streets in their neighbourhood.
