Assignment #1: City Planning and Progress-----

To get started thinking about how cities can do a better job meeting their citizens' needs and dreams, we have 5 things we are doing.... For each of the 5, you have writing to do. You will be posting your writing up here in Canvas. This is Due by Thursday, the 27th, at 2pm. We will be having Zoom calls on Thursday and Friday nights to go over this work.

1. Why do you think people don't get more involved in the issues that are around them, esp. issues that are related to cities? Pick the best 3 reasons that you came up with that you think you want to write about... Keep in mind that you should try to avoid picking reasons that are similar to each other. Once you pick the 3 best that you like, write up 4-5 sentences for each one, expanding the discussion of each. (You are essentially creating topics sentences for each reason.)

2. Pls watch this cool video about this concept called "Participatory Budgeting."

Once you watch it, go back to the 3 reasons you came up with for why people don't get more involved. For each of the reasons you came up with, ask yourself "Does this movie address (and maybe even solve) the reason?" I think you will find that a LOT of the issues you came up with for why people don't get involved are addressed by this movie.... Write a paragraph response about how the movie addresses each of your 3 reasons.

3. Please read this article: https://ssir.org/articles/entry/community_engagement_matters_now_more_than_ever (https://ssir.org/articles/entry/community_engagement_matters_now_more_than_ever)
