In my opinion, in Lima-Peru building waste, food, and transport are the most important stocks and flows in my city. First, building waste are trashed on marginal places around the city or in principal avenues and streets so, it produces an urban degradation that affects to people who lives near to it. This building waste is a stock an flow because is in constant movement (when is transported) and in constant inmobility (when is deposited in a place). The problem is that the building wastes doesn't have a place where to be reused. Second, Food is flow when is transported from the farm to the city and then it converts in stock when it arrives to the market. The problem in lima is that the main supply route is constantly threatened by natural disasters and when this route is blocked we don't have physical connection with the center of the country. Third, transport are another important stock and flow. Is a flow when it is movement and a stock when is in the garage. The flows are designed to support private transport and not for public transport so it collapse the routes and abour stocks,
