Answer 1

Your welcome!

Step-by-step explanation:

a. With population growth, cities can experience problems such as air and water pollution, land degradation, overcrowding, and the spread of diseases. To prepare for population growth, changes to the design could include incorporating green space, creating walkable streets and parks, and investing in renewable energy sources.

b. Avoiding areas with water, wetlands, forests, or places with heavy rainfall or snow is important for protecting the environment because these areas are fragile and can be easily damaged by development.

c. Housing placement can lead to some residents getting fewer resources than others because certain areas may not have adequate access to clean water and air, healthcare, or educational opportunities. Lack of resources can affect the health of residents by increasing the risk of exposure to air and water pollution, infectious diseases, and malnutrition.

d. The concept of arcology that appealed to me the most was the idea of building vertically, with a focus on sustainability and efficiency. I would incorporate this concept into my community design by creating dense, walkable neighborhoods with high-rise buildings that are designed with green roofs, solar energy systems, and other sustainable features.
