City Planning and Sustainability Research Project

About:

This printable research worksheet for 9th graders explores how city planners use natural features and infrastructure to improve sustainability and livability. Students research cities with prominent physical features like rivers and mountains, evaluate global transportation systems and walkable neighborhoods, and consider how to apply sustainable design principles to cities like Chiang Mai. Useful as a summer enrichment project, a geography unit activity, or an introduction to urban planning and sustainability.
