A City Run by the Youth looks at resolving the current shortage of youth services in Poughkeepsie, NY, due to the YMCA shut down in 2009. The youth group in Poughkeepsie has been mentally suffering from low income and drug culture. In promoting beneficial activities and social value among the young people, the program not only includes primary care facilities and mental health facilities but also youth-promoting programs that provide safe and interactive spaces for the teenagers of Poughkeepsie. Mental health, youth programs, and primary care are closely integrated with the natural landscape of the site.
