*People:* In the inner city section of city where I am located, we see a short, midterm and longitudinal ebb and flow in the stock of people. We have two transitional groups that fluctuate for different reasons. **Immigrants** – we have a high immigrant population due to access to social housing and this is a transitory type of housing. Families enter the country and are given these residences that are fixed to income and allows them to begin to enter into Canadian life. Over the years, these families save money and eventually move into more spacious accomodations as jobs/savings allow. **Senior Citizens** – we have several large senior residences that are being expanded. Seniors from across the city are placed in these facilities, and even though they die off, demand is high and waiting lists are long and this will keep the flow of people in this sector consistently high. *Density:* We are in the process of losing more and more greenspace to development projects. A huge parcel of land is in the process of being transformed into a large residental neighbourhood and this will greatly affect the density in this section of the inner city. These residences will be out of the financial reach of the immigrants in the nearby social housing and so this will bring new people flow into the area as a result. These will also be mostly family residences and this means higher population due to the presence of children as well. *Capital:* The type of housing being proposed is in one of the highest priced neighbourhoods in Ottawa. The homes being built there will be higher priced just for being built on this land. These new homes will generate capital flow for housing developers and banks as they will need to have people with reasonably high incomes to support the purchase of these dwellings. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14319973211197877.jpg
