Langley Park Studio is a University of Maryland community planning studio that partnered with residents, local organizations, and county planners to envision an equitable future for Langley Park, a bi-county immigrant community in Maryland, USA. Through site visits, research, and community-led engagement, students documented local assets and challenges and produced a Strategic Plan. The plan outlines visions, goals, and place-based actions to expand affordable housing, improve transportation safety and access, advance environmental sustainability, and strengthen community and economic development. Education-centered recommendations highlight safe routes to schools, youth programs, multilingual information, and shared learning spaces that build civic leadership. These strategies protect cultural identity while guiding investment and collaboration.
