Nella Young ’98

Nella Young ’98, who earned her master’s in urban and environmental policy and planning from Tufts, has received the German Chancellor’s Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The year-long program offers its fellows an opportunity to design a project that will expand their professional expertise. Young, whose particular interest is in developing planning approaches for cities that have experienced large-scale population change, will work with the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Urban Redevelopment Saxony-Anhalt 2010, a partnership between a state planning agency and a private foundation. A studio arts major as an undergraduate at Wesleyan, she hopes to observe particular ways that community-wide arts projects are used to maintain a high quality of life in cities where population is declining.
