Focus Questions• What is urban sprawl?• Can you find signs of urban sprawl in your
community?• What are some ways to meet people’s needs
while preserving the natural world?

ObjectivesStudents will be able to:• Identify what urban sprawl is and what its
consequences are.• Estimate area and calculate usage density.• Distinguish between building codes and zoning
laws.• Identify criteria for a successful new urbanist
structure.

Urban SprawlDescribes• The rapid expansion of
a city toward surrounding areas,
• Replacing farmland and natural habitats with houses, streets, and commercial or industrial buildings.

New Urbanists• Make optimum use of space, instead of just
expanding without careful plans and considerations.
• Must understand people’s needs.

Researching Space• A quick and easy way to estimate distances
involves counting your steps.
To Do’s• Walk ten steps and measure the distance.• Do this three times.• Find the average.

Estimate the area of room.
Example:A room is 8 steps wide and 12 steps long, and your step is 2 feet long.• Width = 8 steps x 2 ft./ step = 16 ft.• Length = 12 steps x 2 ft./step = 24 ft.• Area (sq.in.) = length x width• Area = 16 ft. x 24 ft. = 384 square feet.

Now, Go to• Gym• Upper Cafeteria• Lower Cafeteria• Library• Space between two schools• Outside of lower cafeteria
To find approximate area!!
