Communities Quarterly Review

Changes

Locations change over time based on the needs of the people. More people in an area means more need for roads and transportation. More schools are needed when areas build more houses and neighborhoods.

Changes for Reasons

Communities change things for different reasons. Building more schools is a change for EDUCATION. Building more highways and adding stop signs is a change for TRANSPORTATION. Improving phone lines and internet connections is a change for COMMUNICATION. Adding more meeting rooms to a city building or making a bigger Town Hall is an improvement to GOVERNMENT.
