The 15-Minute City Activity- Use the print-and-go activity page provided to learn about the 15-minute city, a concept where communities are designed so that everyday destinations (schools, stores, and offices) will only be a short walk or bike ride away. Then follow the instructions to reimagine your neighborhood as a 15-minute city.
Reimagining Roads Activity- If we go one step further from the 15-minute city idea we can imagine a city without cars at all! Read more about carless cities with the print-and-go activity pages provided, then draw or color over the streets and cars in the included pictures to imagine those spaces as something new.
A Greener City Activity- We know that trees, shrubs, and other plants help keep cities cool, serve as habitats for animals and insects, and help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Add as many plants as you can to the city on the print-and-go activity page provided.
Comprehension and Critical Thinking worksheet featuring: Vocabulary Word Match, Review Questions (short answer), Critical Thinking Question (long answer), and Ideas for Further Research
