Description

Design the downtown of a city! Make it as wacky as you would like, but be sure to include the
following requirements:

● Your city hall must be at the center of your city.

● You must include at least 4 nonhorizontal or vertical streets.
● You have to have 6 separate buildings, not including the city hall, present in your city.
● All buildings must have at least one entrance.
● Entrances of your buildings must be in the midpoint of one of the sides of the building.

You must also determine which lines on streets are parallel, or perpendicular.
All data for the city (lines of the streets and buildings, midpoints, support behind parallel and
perpendicular lines, area and perimeter of buildings) must be presented on a seperate sheet of
paper when city plan is turned in.

Assessment will be graded on both the blueprint of the city and the data supporting the structure
of the city.
