Elam Boockvar-Klein completed CPI in the Spring of 2022 and will receive his Master’s in City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania in 2025. He recently won the Witte-Sakamoto Family Prize in City and Regional Planning Award.

There’s a whole number of issues that you can apply the skills that you learn in CPI to…and I think that’s what’s valuable about it. It’s so transferable, no matter what you care about, no matter where you are. Every neighborhood everywhere has a challenge- no neighborhood is perfect- having the resources that you need to address those challenges is so important. Elam Boockvar-Klein
