The important stocks in Kathmandu,in my view,is people,food and land. People-There are plenty of people leaving Kathmandu in numbers of thousands per day and entering Kathmandu for work,business,travelling or higher education or any other purpose.But people in Kathmandu are stocks.For example,from above image,the domestic and international tourist visiting the Patan area are flows but the guides,shopkeeper and the dwellers of that area are stocks. Food-Kathmandu imports food from other region of Nepal and some foods are even imported from India.There is less agricultural land in Kathmandu.So,food in this city can be taken as flows. Land-Land is stock over here.Also,the heritage built on land are stocks because they remain same for long time.The temples and ancient palace of the Patan area in the figure above have been preserved from centuries.The heritage therefore are constant and are source of tourist attraction. Well,in future,as Kathmandu has 4 million population today and there is rapid growth rate,hence,more flows may occur.There will be more people entering and leaving the city which will enhance trade and road tax which may be beneficial.In terms of food,as population would rise so will food demand resulting higher import.Land will remain stock but density would increase hence more flows.
