African American History

Monday, October 28th: Students will begin their rough draft by completing the following steps:

• Begin your rough draft by placing any natural features (waterways - rivers, oceans, lakes, mountains, beaches, etc).
• Design your major highway system, public transit system and train tracks in and out of the city. Are all parts of the city reached by some form of highway or public transportation system?
  • Make sure it’s clear what your main highways in and out of the city are.
  • Make sure it’s clear what your main streets (Your Broad Streets and Market Streets) are and your side streets.
• Place your industrial zones - minimum of 6 required (airports, garbage/recycling facilities, water treatment facility, electric plant, 2 factories) - Each one of these count as 1 industrial zone
• Place your major corporate/high-rise/skyscraper zone - no less than 1 required.
• Place the following zones (Make sure you pay strict attention to the minimum requirements for your city):
  • Commercial Zones (no less than 10)
  • Residential Zones (no less than 10) - make sure you note whether it is single family housing or multi-unit housing
  • Municipal Zones (no less than 1) - can be a part of your corporate/high-rise/skyscraper zone)
  • Mixed-Use Zones - There's no minimum requirement, but mixed use areas would be anywhere where you have a mix of residential and commercial zones (Think apartments over shops)
• Review your highway system and public transit system. Are all major parts of your city accessible by car or public transit? Make adjustments as you see fit.
