SimCity Project 2011: Planning your CITY OF THE FUTURE

Goals
To understand of the complexity of a city: initial design; money management; growth systems, such as health care, education, and recreation; and maintenance systems, such as water, waste, power, etc. To apply civil engineering skills to the design, construction, and maintenance of a city. To practice problem solving skills as simulated demands and crises arise. To understanding how cities can be designed to be sustainable. To express the process in writing.

Project Requirements
1. Growth and Evaluation Photos (submitted via Google Presentation) 2. Narrative (PRINT and turn in with your initial design drawing) 3. SimCity Region File (lename: period_simproject_yourname) Drag the le out of the folder Documents>SimCity4>Regions Renamed it Zip it Upload to Google docs Share Above and Beyond You may complete as many or as few of the Above and Beyond criteria, but you must document the completion of each item with a photo.
