Construct residential areas near other zones. Create new residential areas throughout the city. Connect residential areas to parks with paths. A threat is a low demand for housing in the city at the moment. An opportunity is to better bridge this gap while connecting residential zones to pedestrian paths.
A weakness is that much of the residential areas are grouped together, separate from the commercial areas of the city. A strength of housing is that there are both low and high-density residential areas in multiple parts of the city with all necessary amenities including parks, health, and education.
A goal for housing is to provide living with easy access to the community and access to all services and utilities. Add pedestrian paths and landscaping to make the city more attractive. Convert stretches of highways to tunnels to reduce noise pollution and create space for new development. Reconfigure highway roundabout into an interchange with bridges and tunnels. A threat to the built environment is the density of the city, allowing little room for public transportation and recreational paths.Īctions to improve the built environment: An opportunity for the city is to reconstruct this interchange and relocate the highway underground. A weakness is that most traffic problems occur at a large highway roundabout, an intersection that needs improvement. A strong point of the built environment is a low amount of traffic, with an average flow of 71%. The city is functional but could be more aesthetically pleasing and more accessible to pedestrians. A goal for the built environment is to become more attractive. The city is largely made up of adults at 32% of the population, while children make up the smallest demographic at 7%. The population has increased drastically over time with some periods of little growth and others with rapid growth.
The population is trending upwards with about 200 new residents per cycle. The current population is 79,178 people.This will be bridged once the highway is adjusted as part of the improvement plan.
The city has also grown on both sides of the highway, separating the city into two parts. As the city grew, new residential and commercial areas added were high density, making the city more compact. My city has evolved by transitioning from a mainly industrial city to an office centered city.Many of my friends call me by my last name and I thought it was fitting to name my city after myself. My city is named Bibopolous, this is a combination of my last name (Bibbo) and Metropolis (a large city).
