Assignment: The Visible Urban Design: City Scavenger Hunt Project 3

The goal of this mini project is to describe what you see in a populated city of your choice. You will use Google Earth(or google maps-satellite imagery if google earth is not available to you) to analyze the layout of your selected city and write about what you see. The writing in the paper should be single-spaced and no less than1000words. It is okay to exceed these limitations but Do NOTgo under. Work should be neat and in report format.

Considerations:

- The metropolitan area should be close to 1 million people

- Major terms/ theories should be discussed and applied to the locations in the captions.

- All 7terms should have captions.

- YOU MUST ALL DO #7 on the list!

- Crop your images (Snipping tool or Control Print screen to get them into the word document then cropping tool to get the closest image possible)

- Some terms may necessitate the use of more than one picture to best explain!

- Any historical contributions that may explain how the city functions and looks must be cited

- 4sources are required in addition to google earth (yes, please cite google earth)

- DO NOT plagiarize! Site the source! Bibliography (Turabian) & in text citations (Author, date)

- The paper should have a university level quality of writing! (See Tessa, myself, or attend the writing lab if you need help with this!)

DO NOT......

Just stick pictures in randomly or at the end of the assignment. Weave them into your work to best explain your city!!!
