Health

Health in this city is portrayed by our blue hospital and is the top left building. Health is very important in our city because being healthy is a human need, in this city health is very important to it because it is always snowing and sickness is all around.

Safety/Trust

Safety and trust is shown in this city by how small it is, since the city is so small, everyone trust each other and feels safe to be near/with them. Why safety and trust is so important to the well being of people living here and the city itself, is because if you don’t trust your neighbours or feel safe to be around them, why would you ever want to live there.

Entertainment

The entertainment in our ideal city is located in parks, school fields, and even outside your house. Because it’s mostly always snowing in Aloe Vera, the people of Aloe Vera can play snowball fights and winter activities during the long months of winter. Our schools have fields and underground facilities that include gyms, more classrooms, and libraries.

Community

community is very crucial for our city because if there was no community it would be a ghost town or an empty town but with the community the town is way more fulfilled and better. it is represented where the people are having a snowball fight and the people skiing because they have all come together to do something.

Friendship

Friendship in the city can be anywhere, because it’s a relatively small city, everyone knows each other. It’s easy to hang out with your friends because houses are so close together. Friendship can flourish in parks, the schools, and their house neighbourhood. The mall can also be a place where friendship can flourish because that’s where people can hang around and go shopping together.

Community Reflection

This project was about thinking about what do you value in your life socially and physically, but also looking into your creative side to build a city based on what your group and you believe in and value. My group and I used the website citycreator.com and built a city with the values of Health, Safety, Trust, Entertainment, Community, and Friendship.

While thinking of ideas and communicating them we used discord, how we would communicate our thoughts on the project to one another would go as such, one person would say their thoughts, another person would either make a counter argument or agree, and if it was a counter argument we would all listen to them and go in the same process until we agree on every thought.

In my eyes the responsibilities of the project ended up just going a person’s shoulders after they agreed to take the responsibilities and work that followed accepting that part of the project, and no real roles were assigned because I/we felt it was not needed to keep the momentum of success going, so when someone felt they were not helping enough they would take on another piece of the project.

I felt we worked very well as a group, because we knew at least one other person from the group so I felt we got along very well, so in turn we got a lot of work done and were very efficient in planning the project and executing the plan.

Decisions as a group were made on almost every part in this project. When a decision needed to be made as a group for a specific thing we said our ideas and branched off of what we said to create and finish this project, so since we had a good way of going about things, we never had problems finishing.

I feel our final product was great, and I had a lot of fun making the name and thinking about what to put in the city. If there would be a next time for this project I think I could possibly plan my time a bit better, but other than that probably nothing.
