Traffic congestion occurs in cities due to the separation of work and residential areas, movement between parts of the city to obtain goods and services, and inadequate transportation infrastructure and services. Specifically, people live in one part of the city but work in another, leading to commuting during peak hours. They also travel within the city to access specialized goods and services only available in certain locations. Meanwhile, transportation systems have small fleets of buses and trains unable to accommodate all commuters, resulting in overcrowding and delays. This encourages private vehicle ownership and further congestion. The document then instructs students to discuss in groups solutions to these three causes of congestion - separation of work and housing, internal city movement

Editor's Notes
- #5: Find videos on commuting from home to work place or school Heartland to town, CBD, MBFC, CBP, One-North
- #6: Explain the consequences of congestion? Need to include in slides? – “maybe have a slide with a blank box and tell them to write down the key points in that box in their notes?” Private vehicle – convenient & flexibility – demand & desire for private vehicle – traffic congestion SOHO: Small Office, Home Office
- #9: Find Pictures and videos Logistics: Air, Sea, Land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBTDiD-9W1E (PSA time lapse with traffic) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9illwoyBVI (PSA time lapse port only) NTUC, Market, Schools

- #13: UPSIZE PIE? Alternative road? Increase MRT line ? Infrastructure to keep pace with grow in population: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOAlmUZvCBY (0:00 – 1.17) MRT Evolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfi2RFVsEgo (* timelapse video of mrt lines. Too draggy. Can be introduced as a solution in package 6)
- #14: Might want to show the sharp increase in non-resident population through a storyboard: http://www.singstat.gov.sg/statistics/visualising-data/storyboards/population-trends
- #16: Discuss and write down at least 1 solution each group for the 3 causes of congestion. How do you plan to distribute the causes for congestion? Maybe only let each group do 2 causes.
- #18: What homework will be given to them?
