Students investigate how people influence/shape the (built) environment is in Australia and around the world. Students will explore ways people influence the characteristics of places, including its location, amenities: safety, health, zones and the management of spaces. Ultimately, students will understand that the way places look is a direct effect of human choices, needs and interests.

Inquiry Questions

• How do people shape the (built) environment and the management of spaces within them?
• Why do we have different types of zones in Australia?
• What are important factors humans take into consideration when moving to a city?
