DOCUMENT: It is assumed that immigration rate under normal circumstances would be 5% of
the stock of population.

UNITS: hectares/person

DOCUMENT: It is assumed that 550 sq feet would be the land footprint per person. This
footprint includes direct requirement in terms of residential and indirect requirement in terms
of public spaces.
