Question

for your city - plan, you must create an overhead view of your city - state on poster board and answer the questions related to how your location will impact your city - state. your poster board should include: the name of your city - state, a map of your city, including your geographic location, color, labels, and detail, a key to identify symbols/buildings/etc. city - plan questions: 1. what type of system will your streets be organized upon and why? (i.e., grid, circular, diagonal) 2. how large of a population will you have (between 5,000 and 100,000)? what important aspects will you need to consider given your population size? 3. how will you feed your population (consider food creation, food storage and food distribution) (this should take into account the location you chose for your city - state!) food creation food storage food distribution 4. how will you access freshwater in your city? (should match your site/location) 5. what public space and public buildings will be incorporated into your city - plan? your incorporation of public space/buildings should reflect your complex institutions and social hierarchy. be specific! 6. how will you deal with possible natural disasters? (natural disasters should match your site/location)

Explanation:

1. Street - organization: A grid system can be chosen for easy navigation and efficient land - use. It allows for simple addressing and regular block development.
2. Population size: For a population of 20,000, aspects like housing, education (number of schools), and healthcare (number of clinics) need to be considered. A smaller population may require less infrastructure compared to a larger one.
3. Food - related: If the city - state is located near fertile land, food creation can involve agriculture. Food storage can be in warehouses near the production area, and distribution can be through local markets and delivery services.
4. Freshwater access: If the city is near a river, water can be sourced from it and treated. If it's in a dry area, desalination plants (if near the sea) or large - scale water harvesting systems can be implemented.
5. Public space and buildings: A large central park can serve as public space for recreation. A town hall can be a public building for community meetings and administrative functions. The presence of a cathedral can reflect a religious social hierarchy.
6. Natural disasters: If the city is in an earthquake - prone area, buildings can be constructed with earthquake - resistant designs. In flood - prone areas, flood barriers and elevated buildings can be built.

Answer:

1. A grid system will be used for streets as it simplifies navigation and land - use planning.
2. A population of 20,000 will be chosen. Important aspects to consider are housing, education, and healthcare facilities.
3. Food Creation: Agriculture near the city if land is available. Food Storage: Warehouses near production areas. Food Distribution: Local markets and delivery services.
4. If near a river, source water from it and treat it.
5. A central park as public space and a town hall and cathedral as public buildings.
6. In an earthquake - prone area, use earthquake - resistant building designs.
