Key concepts in this essay

youth-specific urban challenges (employment, housing affordability, mental health)

practical, implementable solutions with clear reasoning
stakeholder roles (government, private sector, communities)

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Listing surface-level problems (pollution, traffic) without explaining why they affect young people specifically
Proposing impractical solutions (e.g., 'ban cars') without discussing feasibility or tradeoffs
Providing generic solutions that don't connect to the causes previously identified
