If flood-safe redevelopment in a river city is designed for high-income housing while low-income workers live in distant suburbs, what might the daily population pattern show?
A is correct. If high-income housing is concentrated in the redeveloped area while lower-income workers live in distant suburbs, the city will show income-based residential separation. If those workers’ jobs remain in the city, they will commute in each day, producing a daily pattern of residents living farther from the central work area. Flood protection does not itself remove the need to travel between home and work.
