Agent Plan-It is Fun Kids’ very own town planning expert and she’s setting you a challenge!
Check out real life problems which could be solved by better planning.
Take your walk to school, for example. It could only be a five minute walk, but you might have to cross THREE roads!
If these areas were no car zones, everyone could walk or cycle, and we’d all be healthier – less pollution too!
Is your high-street filled with empty, unused shops? It might have been a bustling high street fifty years ago but the way we shop has changed. Now, and in the future, this space might be better used for something else – like housing!
High rise housing can solve some problems, especially when more housing is needed – and needed quickly.
Maybe you could create Green Walls on blocks of flats to help wildlife – that’s where plants are placed on the building itself!
How would you change your town?

Maybe you’d create more cycle paths, add car-free zones, or perhaps you think you need a train station?
Whatever it is, we’re interested in your suggestions!
