This month's lite challenge is to design a town. We've provided the street layout of major street and the collection of house shapes to use as a starting point. You must use these as a basis for your town. However they can be merged into larger structures and you don't need to use all of them. They can be resized and you can add more building shapes to the mix if you feel that these are not enough to populate your town.

As with the previous challenge, this can be tackled with a little out of the box thinking - as long as the shapes are clearly represented in the final map.

Here's the png of the shapes as your starting point:

This challenge will run until the 15th of October after which there will be a few days of voting. The winner will receive a silver Lite Compass under their name.

Before each WIP you must place the ### Latest WIP ### tag so that the thumbnail scraper can identify the latest WIP. Feel free to add new posts for each update so that others can see the progress of the map.
