FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 2: "Stocks and Flows"
Uploaded on 2019-01-08 by Kristine Co
Density is an important stock and flow as the city is very labor-intensive. Majority of jobs available relies heavily on manual labor. Thus, the growth of the city is very dependent on the current density. Development outside the city will help alleviate the problem of overpopulation as people will start moving out in the future. Food is also important, especially as a means to support the high density of the city. Food is often produced and procured outside the city and comes in regularly to be readily available to the people. An increase of readily available and affordable meals will greatly benefit the city to support the lifestyle of the laborers. Petrol/Fuel is considered an important stock and flow because the main mode of transportation is through vehicles. This is due to the lack of reliable alternative modes of transportation. With the high dependency on cars, there is a high demand for petrol and fuel. This is evident with the with spread of gas stations around the city to stock the resource. But with the development of greener and more efficient modes of transportation, the reduction of fuel consumption will greatly benefit the overall environment of the city.
