High School: Envisioning and Designing Sustainable Cities of the World

Design your future city, blending ancient wisdom with modern sustainability.

 

In this class, students will examine successful ancient cities as well as modern cities of the world using Google Earth and maps as a virtual tour to understand why some cities flourish and others collapse. After learning about the obstacles cities face in order to become sustainable, students will devise a city plan of their own using sketches and free software. This class will focus on architecture, functional urban areas, healthy neighborhoods, transportation, waste, energy and water sources. This generation has a challenge to create a sustainable future for themselves. Are you up to the challenge?
