Ken asks…
question for thought?
My professor asked the class this question today, and it make me wonder. I was curious of what others would come up with.
Say you were creating a walled city, where no people or items could move in or out. The city is self-sustaining; it has greenhouses and building to grow/raise farm animals. It also creates its own renewable resources. Assume poulation stays stable over the years; no growth or decrease.
What population size would you pick as ideal for the city? Remember it has to be large enough to have labor(job) specialization and allow for a wide variety of jobs. It also needs to be large enough to support the need for public services such as hospitals, schools, fire, and police. It also has to be large enough to support a diverse genetic population (meaning it has to be large enough to allow people to date/marry and have kids; if the population is too small there won’t be enough choices). However, if the population is too large they’re will be issues of transportation, food/energy production, and waste disposal.
The Expert answers:
I can’t answer this question without the dimension… The area size. You figure this out by setting your technological stage… Say are you back in the 16th century living or the 21st with computers, etc… Then based on this, you determine what specifice jobs are necessary: farm workers, doctors, dentist, grocers, etc… Then based on this you do a ratio of x number of persons to each job.

The Expert answers:
Suburbs are inhabited districts located either on the outer rim of a city or outside the official limits of a city (the term varies from country to country), or the outer elements of a conurbation.
Toxic waste is a waste which is toxic (poisonous or hazardous) for a variety of reasons. It originates with industry in most cases, particularly chemical and plastics manufacturing.
The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75% of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapour and aerosol.
The Sun Belt is a region of the United States generally considered to stretch across the South and Southwest. The Sun Belt has seen substantial demographic and economic growth in recent decades compared to the Rust Belt states of the Northeast and Midwest.
