The Neighbourhood You Live In
Your neighbourhood is a collection of blocks, becoming a geographically larger and more
diverse space to explore. How your neighbourhood is arranged or “planned” affects many
aspects of your life. (Examples - where you go to school, how far it is to your friends’ house,
whether you walk to the park or stores)
