nDidnyou know that there are people in the world who try to plan how bestnto use land in order to keep the environment clean, in order tonincrease people’s health and happiness, and to make our towns andncities beautiful? Town planners have to think about air, water,ninfrastructure such as roads and bridges, transportation,ncommunications, and so forth.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nSomentown planners – also known as urban planners – go to meetings ornconferences. Today there is an online conference that includes talksnabout “Developing in Flood-Prone Areas” and “Island Living:nHazardous to Your Health?” It looks like town planners are learningnhow to deal with global climate change and rising sea levels!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nHerenand here are some resources to help kids learn about urbannplanning. Of course, a great way of encouraging kids to learn about town planning (among other things) is Minecraft!
n
n
n
n
n
nApparently even professional planners use Minecraft as a tool!
n
n
