I'm new to advocating for urban planning so I don't know where to start. I know can attend city hall meetings and even email the mayor but I feel like those aren't effective solutions. Any advice? Thanks.

Actually thinking about it this urban-cycling guy also on youtube called shifter did a video about Edmonton changing over time.
Not really practical advice for you, but maybe some interesting stories - sadly none from the opposition so it's far from balanced.

I'm sure this is all very specific to that community - so maybe not that relevant. but it might be interesting nontheless.
I think there was a similar video about Montreal on his channel.

I guess he's looking at cites that are quite well developed in having removed some car infrastructure.

This bloke never really looks at public transport though; I guess he's not the first cyclist to shy away from a bus.
