I did my concept map of cemeteries and how they are effected by urban planning. I choose to compare the Paris Catacombs and the San Francisco cemeteries . First i looked at the where it was happening because the geography of a specific place is very important in understanding why certain choices are made. Also history of a place plays a large apart in it as well. for example both Paris and California created these large burial sites in part by the influence of illness/ hard times. But also this is due to poor urban planning reactions to growing cities. Paris experienced rapid growth with is proximity to ports and growing population. California was caught in the swell of the gold boom, for a long time there were only one or two cemeteries available in the area and if you died you would be going to it as well 
Concept Map Logan Tueller Group 2
Although many of these cultures never met each other and came from different times, they all seem to have the need to construct huge monuments of expert engineering and craftsmanship. There seems to be a reoccurring theme with the purpose of each monument; and that is they all are dedicated to either a specific god or religion and they are all a meeting place to worship, pray and be social. These monuments are designed to last forever and be seen by people from faraway places. It seems almost as if human nature drives us to build bigger, better, and more beautiful dedications to our beliefs. These monuments all took many years and thousands of workers, engineers, craftsmen and laborers to assemble but once they were completed, they each became a jewel for each religion to own and worship in.
Concept Map
My concept map was to differentiate the effect of religion between Japan’s shinto and the Aztecs. I included the gods that they each believed in, the various structures built, as well as how the religion affected their culture. I also made a few comparisons between the two, as each are very distance from each other, in both geography and timeline.
