Cheri Hallifax Turman

• Transportation– People often take the bus, train, taxis or

walk

• Architecture– Buildings in urban

communities are often very tall.

– Some buildings are so tall they seem to touch the sky.

– These are called “Skyscrapers”.

Rural

• Rural communities are called “the country” or farmland.

• There are fewer people, more spread out from one another.

• There is lots of open space and natural areas.

Rural

• Transportation– People usually must drive to places they

need to visit, because it is too far to walk.– Sometimes the roads are not paved, so

people need special vehicles, like pick-up trucks.

– Farms have special types of vehicles, such as tractors.

sometimes walk or take the bus. – Sometimes people will take trains into the
