Simply[C]ity SWOT Analysis:

A simple SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis highlighted certain shortcomings associated with the sustainable design, most notably noise and pollution from the densely populated residential and industrial zones, flooding and lack of open spaces and communal parks.

Identification of these and other issues led to the implementation of corrective features in the design including a tram system and cycle path, a central park and a flood-mitigation system to help maintain water-levels during periods of heavy rainfall (amongst other ideas).

Perhaps more excitingly, the SWOT analysis, combined with the site survey and brainstorming sessions, generated ideas such as using composted human waste as fertiliser in the farming zone.

Simply[C]ity proved to be an exciting investigation project that served to highlight the challenges associated with city planning particularly when one attempts to tackle modern day practical and environmental quandaries.

This then led into taking weaknesses, which one of them was disconnection, noise, polluted canal, flooding and turn it into rubbish up-cycling machine to balance of the water level  during the rain fall, to avoid flooding, then  create promenades around the site to connect south train station, circulation to north residential areas bring local visitors to the town.
