Sustainable Development Project Rough Draft

After the outline, students are well on their way to the completion of the 1st draft of the final paper. The outline should be converted to a paper format. The paper should include the major headings identified in the outline (for example topics established for each major Roman Numeral should be a heading in the paper).

All papers will be 5 pages long for an individual and 10 pages long for a group. Pictures should not be included in the 5 pages of text. Each picture or diagram should be # and titled with a citation for the source. The format is double spaced with 1 inch margins and APA style citations. Please label all group member names and place the # of the course at the top of the page.

Remember students can conduct research online, visit the area to see it first hand, take pictures, interview various city officials and business representatives or talk to community residents to gather an understanding of the various social and economic impacts of the development in the area.

The paper should include the following:

I. Development Description

II. Purpose of the Development - What were the goals of the development III. Demographic Snapshot of the Neighborhood

a. Description of the population b. Economic characteristics

c. Social character

IV. Environmental (potential) Impacts

V. Overall Impacts of the Development on the neighborhood
