December 2006


The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles has an educator resources website with several city design lesson plans.

The Getty Museum - Education

Some lesson plans relevant to urban planning:

* Environmental impact of the city of Los Angeles (High School 9-12)

* Buildings, Buildings Everywhere (Grades 3-5)

* Sacred Places: California Missions from Different Perspectives (Grades 3-5)

True to the Getty's focus, the lesson plans are accompanied by paintings and photographs. There are also discussion questions, historical articles, and bibliographies.
