Your Goal is to design a Central Business District (services, office towers, low density housing, high density housing, and open space).

Your structures must be uniform in size (use the reference guide)

All structures must be connected by roads to the main highway in some way (you may include pedestrian only areas)

Once built, you cannot tear it downYou are required to add more structures in

subsequent steps (follow each step)

Draw a highway ¼” wide

6” from bottom

5” from the right

After you draw your highway, add one open space (green space) that makes up no more than ¼ of the page. (Scale: 4”=1/2mi.)
