In this assignment, you will describe how land use patterns, housing, and transportation networks have evolved over time and how they reflect (or do not reflect) classic models of urban form. These models include the following:
Your paper should have three sections:
Within each subsection on the models of urban form, you should spend a few sentences (a maximum of 3) describing each model. The paper should be at least 1500 words, and the overall grade on the assignment will be scaled accordingly if it fails to meet that length (e.g., if the paper is 1200 words, since 1500/1200 = 0.80, the grade resulting from the rubric will be multiplied by 0.8).
You should draw on images, archival records, and historic maps (cited appropriately) considerably in this assignment. You will complete it individually, but due to limited resources, students will be grouped in order to provide better structure to our scheduled time in the UWEC archives. Everything that is not your knowledge or common knowledge must be cited with in-text citations.
Group 1: Samantha Consiglio, Josh Kallembach, Bailey Roe, Thomas Ruohoniemi, Josh Solberg
Group 2: Dallas Dosch, Evan Frawley, Charlie Frey, Dylan Lehmann, Cassie Mikelson
