Built environments surround us. They are everywhere: homes, offices and government buildings, gas stations, shopping malls, movie theaters, factories, apartment buildings, tree houses, igloos, and skyscrapers. There are even more built environments to consider when you include any human-made structure, such as boats, cars, trains, air balloons, and airplanes. According to the University of Windsor, the term of built environment is used “when referring to those surroundings created for humans, by humans, and to be used for human activity.” So, the list of built environments extends to bridges, parks, roads, paths and walkways, city squares, transportation systems, and even sidewalks.=
