Google Earth Voyager Story: The Geometry of City Planning, Part 2

Topic

Geometric Models

Description

This continuation of the lesson on city planning delves deeper into the geometric concepts used in urban design, as seen through Google Earth. Students can explore more complex aspects of city planning, such as zoning, transportation networks, and green spaces. Geometric concepts include parallel and perpendicular lines. Google Earth aids in this exploration by providing detailed views of city layouts, allowing students to analyze the geometric properties and significance of these designs. This hands-on approach helps students understand the role of geometry in creating efficient and livable urban environments, reinforcing their knowledge of geometric modeling.
