204 activities Unit 8, exercise 29a Work in groups of four and try to find a solution for the square at Harras. Student B You are a landscape architect. Your main contribution is to suggest creative ideas for using the space. You would like to create an attractive area that will be used by people, including children and old people. Student D You live on the square. You want the square to be a quieter, more pleasant place to live, and a place where it is safe for children to play. You will agree to any solution that gives priority to pedestrians and cyclists rather than cars. Student C You own a shop on the square. Your main interest is in making it easier and safer for people to use the shops around the square, but you will agree to any solution that makes the square an attractive place for people to come to. Student A You work in the town council. Your priority is that the traffic flow should not be blocked on the three access roads leading to the square. The square should be attractive to pedestrians, but also consider the needs of drivers, buses and cyclists. There is money available, but you should not agree to any solution which would involve unnecessary expense. Think about:   the layout of the roads   traffic lights and pedestrian crossings   pavements and pedestrian areas   car parks, cycle paths and bus stops When you reach agreement, draw your solution on the plan and make notes for a presentation. Include:   an analysis of the main problems   how you propose to solve them   the advantages of your solution   making the square accessible to people   the appearance of the square (trees, flowers, paving stones, grass …)   other features (seats, water features, play areas, sculptures …) Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
