Build Your Neighborhood

What does a healthy neighborhood need? Add buildings, open space, and roads to the map to create a better place to live.

  • Does your neighborhood have apartments, homes, schools, or shops?
  • Where do people go to play or exercise outside?
  • How do people get from place to place? Are their roads, bike trails, or Metro stations?
  • Does your neighborhood have murals, monuments, or memorials for important people or events?

A neighborhood is made up of many people living near each other. In a city, each neighborhood has buildings, apartments, and houses that are close together. In small towns, the buildings are farther apart.
