Below are variations of the Questions to Consider in the Sustainable Cities section of your binder.  Your homework for this assignment is to research and answer all eight questions (10 paragraphs total) to the best of your ability
 
Simply answering yes or no to any of the questions will get you ZERO points.  The points are tied to your explanations of your responses. Don't cheat yourself by not digging deep for creative suggestions to these items. Do your research.  Go to Orem City's homepage and look for links to city planning and zoning. Google City Planning, Urban Development and Sustainable Cities plus your MUN country's name.  Do your best with the time and resources you have. Refer to your notes on the documentary, Urbanized.
 
Here are the items.  You can copy and paste them into a document and type up your responses after each one if you wish.  Feel free to come into my room during A-Day flex or before or after school to use my computers.  I'd suggest creating a Google Doc. You may work on this with partners from your country.
