response to a population boom
Late 1800s: Skyscrapers were designed to conserve
space on the ground and house more people vertically

Examples
Cures for diseases or new tests were created to stop public
health crises, such as the polio vaccine, developed in the
1950s in response to a large outbreak of the crippling
disease
1970s: A need for new energy sources led to increased
development of solar energy

Examples
These are just a few examples of how past challenges
were tackled.” The President” wants all new solutions for
21st-century issues.

President? Be as creative as possible and help your
