BYU, the University of Utah, and Utah State University have all contributed to impactful community projects. BYU’s Professional Planning Studio partnered with the Tolikan Chapter of the Navajo Nation to create a land use plan focused on housing, infrastructure, and economic development, while preserving Diné culture and values. The University of Utah developed a neighborhood plan for Granite Legacy in South Salt Lake, aiming to enhance livability and sustainability through community engagement and strategic improvements. Meanwhile, Utah State University collaborated with South Salt Lake City and TreeUtah to identify optimal tree planting locations, considering factors such as urban heat, biodiversity, and human health.
