These policies include decisions you made in the game regarding: ranch zoning, prairie dog controls, school zoning, and public policy, etc. In other words, what were the different options in EACH of the 4 categories from the game and connect them to environmental science and population dynamics. Discuss the final management decision (your options selected – one each – from EACH of the 4 categories) and explain how it balanced urban development with environmental sustainability. Explain the major challenges you faced in addressing this issue and reaching an optimal solution. Among the challenges, discuss how environmental hazards affect human population and if this impacted the decision with urban development.
