Budapest, Hungary *image NOT taken by me! I could not submit the exercise without uploading one, nor without ticking the box saying it was taken by me. 1: Stock of trees. We can say the the amount of trees in the past 50 years has remained more or less constant in Budapest, so it can be considered a stock. It keeps the city air clean(er than it would be without the trees), provides visual comfort, keeps the city cooler in the heat of the summer, the parks provide public spaces. The trees within the city are rarely if ever used for heating or construction. 2: Flow of people. There has been a flow of people from the Hungarian countryside to Budapest ever since the Industrialisation. There has also always been a flow of people from Budapest going abroad, and immigrants arriving, but the amount and direction of this has not been steady. There is also a flow of people within the city as the main residential areas change and new generations choose to live in different districts. 3: Flow of products. Due to Hungary's geographical location, foreign product flows in from the west of Europe, the north, as well as from the east: Russia and Asia. Flow of export is smaller and mainly consists of machinery that is assembled here. These are all changing, but at different rates. The fastest change now is probably that more and more young people choose to leave the country to live and work somewhere else: a personal example of this is that in my high school class, 3 of us applied to foreign universities; in my brother's, 3 years later, only 5 didn't apply abroad.
