MULTIPLE USE & CHOICES

"We Can Work It Out", Project Learning Tree Pre K-8 Guide, Seventh Edition, page 193, Activity #56

Overview

When certain people decide how to use a particular piece of land, the decision can involve and affect many people in many ways.  Therefore, groups must establish processes for planning and resolving conflicts about land use.  In this activity, students will develop a plan to address an land-use issue.

Objectives

• Develop solutions to a land-use problem involving urban open space.
• Simulate a city council meeting to discuss and decide on a land-use issue.
