Our Utopian City: Sun City

Sun City

Values

In building SunCity, we considered what we value most.  We value the modern lifestyle but in a small-town setting, we want a close-knit community where everyone knows each other and where stability and natural growth is present. We have kept it smaller in size so that there is community bond that exists between the residents that live here. We are surrounded by grass and trees and just beyond the town borders are three clean water lakes that provide us with the water that we need. The greenery surrounding us will also help keep our air cleaner. Our town’s core values are all about family. All children, teens, and young adults attend the one school site in town and take part in a variety of extracurricular activities in our entertainment center. This is a fun, supportive community hidden away from the hectic go-getters that live in the city but still identifying with the modern lifestyle that many people enjoy.   

Colors

Green, Yellow, Blue, Pink 

We chose green for one of our main city colors because green reminds us of nature, growth, and the creation of life. We want a lot of greenery bordering our city and so we have planned to have lots of grass, trees, and plants surrounding it.  

We selected pink and yellow as two other main city design colors because yellow is the color of sunshine and happiness and pink represents caring and love. Yellow is a fun, bright, feel-good color and, in this town, the sun is shining almost every day. The people in this town love the sunshine and they look forward to enjoying the sunny days. Pink fits in well with our family driven community.  

We also chose blue as a main color for our town as it represents water and gives us a feeling of calm and relaxation. Water is a crucial part of life and survival and water and sunshine give us growth so having green, blue, pink and yellow as our main town colors show that we want a positive, calm, happy environment for people to live in.   

Communication Reflection  

Me Darian and Luca all worked on this project, and we all did are part. I did the colors and the meaning behind them, and we all worked on the values together. We all worked on the rough draft and developed from there. We all discussed the values and which values were most important for the city. I think our city turned out great. I enjoyed this project and it made me think how hard it would be in real life to make a perfect city.

Answers

  1. I was able to identify the geography impact on my town. I already had most notes on all the regions and when I switched the map to out doors I could see where the mountains and lakes were.
  2. My pros where everything was easy to find and the video that the student created made everything easier. another pro is that you can search up the destination and put a marker on it. My one con is that I have never used Map hub before so it was confusing at the start like when we could change the icons.
  3. Yes I was satisfied with my project. I wish I would have been more organized with my time management though.
  4. I would start earlier so my project doesn’t get rushed.
