Assignment 62 Designing Eco-Town, USA!

Introduction

Congratulations! Your architecture firm just progressed to the final round of the illustrious Design Anytown, USA town planning contest. You will be the lead designer for a proposed town of 50,000 to be located and built according to your specifications. Your supervisors have decided that your firm’s best chance at winning (and thus securing the prize money and prestige) is to focus on winning the Eco-Town category (since, sadly, there are not many applicants this year).

Now, you need to get planning and create the best plan for your potential town.

You can choose:

·      The town’s location (it just needs to be part of the United States)

·      The major type of industry in town (ex. factories, education, retail, etc.)

·      How the town will generate electricity

·      How the town will dispose of waste and minimize pollution

·      The infrastructure (ex. roads) that allows citizens and visitors to move about and through the town

You will need to produce a write-up including:

·      A paragraph naming your town, identifying its location in the USA, and defending that choice of locale

·      A one to two page write-up detailing the type of facility/facilities that will be constructed to provide electricity for all of your town’s citizens and explaining why that choice is best

·      A brief, yet detailed, explanation (one to two pages) of either how your town will go about either reducing air/water pollution OR dealing with wastewater or solid waste as well as support for pollution/waste management plan

To curry extra favor (or credit) with the judges, you could also develop:

·      A visual plan for the layout of your town

·      A written transportation plan for your town describing how you will guide the citizens’ transportation choices/options
