This guide outlines essential steps in creating a sustainable colony map for the Savannah area before settlement. It emphasizes key city attributes such as well-organized neighborhoods, farming areas, efficient roads, trade access, and safety measures against attacks. The planning process includes drawing a city layout with residential neighborhoods near vital public spaces, roads connecting all areas, and facilitating student participation in voting on the best city plans. Government groups will propose budgets and laws, culminating in community votes to shape the town's governance and infrastructure.
