SubjectUrban Planning

This learning resource guides students through an urban planning project focused on the Nova District. It combines applications of linear algebra, percentages, geometry, ratios, proportions, and scientific notation to solve real-world problems in city design. The project is divided into phases, including demographic analysis, budget allocation, and geometric design challenges. Students analyze population demographics, budget funds based on allocated ratios, and design infrastructure with a focus on mathematical accuracy. They address practical challenges such as calculating area and perimeter for zoning, verifying budget constraints, and applying reasoning for efficient city planning. The final submission includes a visual city map, data summary, mathematical justification, and an explanation of zoning decisions. Extension challenges encourage students to think critically about budget management and efficiency in urban design.
