Student Resource Walk the Talk set the context explore and research What makes up an urban neighbourhood And what makes one neighbourhood in a city different from or similar to another Consider the places and features that are part of the human environment – things that are made by and for people. Think about the features of the natural environment – the outdoor spaces in a community, such as urban forests, parks, air quality, the climate and bodies of water. You will participate in a neighbourhood walk to identify what makes your neighbourhood unique and what affects the ways people live in it. As you plan your walk, think about recording observations about these different types of places and features: • Public places, or places that are available to everyone in the neighbourhood • Private places or properties that belong to individuals or groups • Facilities that provide services that benefit everyone • Places that provide the infrastructure, or the basic features of the neighbourhood, such as roads, lights, boulevards and sidewalks • Features of the natural environment, such as a river or stream, ravines and hills.
