A REAL-WORLD PROBLEM Cities are growing, transport systems are becoming increasingly complex, and planners need to think about how people will move safely and sustainably in the future. Students investigate the question: How could we design a transport network that keeps a growing city moving?

The investigation encourages students to consider: Public transport Walking and cycling Smart transport technology Accessibility Sustainability Safety Environmental impact Connections between transport systems Students record discoveries, compare strategies and consider which ideas could work together in a new context.

Students are expected to use evidence to support their decisions , consider competing priorities and explain why their ideas could work. They move through a thinking process of: Investigate → Analyse … [truncated] --- View on TeachBuySell: https://teachbuysell.com.au/l/1241d237-b0ce-4407-b442-e248619bcaa8 Marketplace: https://teachbuysell.com.au
