Here you have little or no natural resources, city services provide most or all of the basic needs such as water, sanitation, and the energy sources used to cook and heat. The local population density is high, meaning resource competition will be high.  2)  Urban.  This would be neighborhoods removed from the city yards and some degree of natural foliage. Most basic services are provided by…
