• Health– ( a hospital) in the top left of the bottom portion of the picture, serves the entire town and is very spacious
• Community –there are groups of people all around the town, and there is green space where people gather and take in nature
• -Education –(school) the school is in the bottom right of the picture, it is big, red, and it houses all of the town’s children spaciously, it has a park that covers every inch of the roof (it has a safety wall so that the children don’t fall off), it is a nice place for the kids to hang out, it can be used for outdoor learning
• -Eco friendly– there are lots of green space, few cars on the road because people can just walk to each other, and has trees
• -Shelter– (homes, buildings) there are a lot of housing spaces that are reasonable spread apart with green space so that the residents are not in each other’s faces
• Entertainment– there is a vibrant downtown area with tall skyscrapers one next to each other, a park away there is a replica of the Louvre where people from all around come and see local and international pieces of art, all of the downtown area is separated by parks so that is separate from the quiet residential area
• -Food — there are grocery stores (the buildings with the CC sign on top of them) that serve all area of the town, the downtown, and residential areas

Communication Reflection

Designing is an enjoyable, and creatively demanding task.  In a group, consisting of Catherine and I, we created and designed a utopian town that is guided by 7 key principles.  They are health, community, education, eco friendliness, food, shelter, and entertainment. We believe these to be fundamental to our city because they will allow our citizens to live a long and happy live. When starting, we decided who will do each part of the project. I did the making of the town, and the other member proposed the values of the town. Time was used efficiently; we finished the first design iteration in one day. Afterwards, we tinkered with each other’s work on the project so that it was to both of our likings. During the formation of our project, we communicated efficiently using the messaging app Discord, which allowed us to share pictures of all the stages of development, and video chat with each other. For the making of the town itself we used City Creator because of its ease of use and pleasing pixelated art style. I am satisfied with the final product; it is a swell envisioning of what a utopian city can be like.
